0235 UTC Weak here also but slightly stronger than 6960 AM with "Soldier Boy"-Shirelles?
0246 UTC "Any Major Dude"-Steely Dan
0249 UTC "Space Oddity"-David Bowie
0254 UTC "Snoopy vs Red Baron"-Royal Guardsmen (Up to S5 peaks with light fading and high noise level. There's a aerosol ute in there also)
0257 UTC "Captain of Her Heart"-Double
0301 UTC "Private Idaho"-B-52's
0323 UTC "One Tin Soldier"-forgot who does this...

Thank you for the military rank themed show tonight Ballsmacker! Tough prop this evening, but 4030 USB is punching through!

Good signal so far, mixed in with CODAR or something else

Much better as for so odd reason can’t get 6960 AM, antenna not pointing in the right direction?

02:50 utc Space Oddity David Bowie

Message received.  4030 is definitely better...that's why we used to change with the DST switch.  6960 is super long even though we are pumping the highest power we've ever had.  We'll for sure do 4030 next week, probably in wide USB.  This week it is audio freq. cutoff is at 3.2KHz.

I listened on a web SDR in PA.  4030 USB. Signal was good with intermittent interference, at times heavy, S7 to S9. I was able to view the SSTV image
I knew most of the songs. Very good, fun to listen to.

The common theme was military with most songs or artist having a rank or other military words.
