Caught the sign-on at 0030 UTC on the waterfall while looking at other stuff. Jazz in moderately heavy QRN on an SDR in Northeast US.

0047 - ID or announcement between songs. Couldn't understand it but sounded like, "Hello, this is ___ Radio" with a Popeye-like accent.
0103 - Popeye announced something again.
0114 - "Yukon Jack is here". Sounding a bit like Mr. Yeah Man.
0130 - Off?

I don't STRETCH the truth.

"Every minute I spend in this room, my signal gets weaker.
Every minute Charlie squats in the bush, his signal gets stronger."

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.
