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.

0159: Getting some audio, sounded like someone repeated a sentence and now some religious music?
0241: Have Nsk by Laibach on 6957.9 AM now.Weak but readable.

The band has gone very long...
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

0210 End of contemporary dance music, OM talk (indistinct) which seemed to fade in and out.  Then sudden - OM "Radio is having technical difficulties. Transmitter is smoking. It won't kill me." Synth YL; (couldn't make out what she said) - still not distinct & repeated several times, 'I Walk the Line' - Alien Sex Fiend,  ID sequence X2, 'Thorns (Distant vocals Version)' - Wumpscut  Up to 6957.7 at 0226, 'Red Alert' - Epsilon Minus - 0228 to 6957.8, 0232 gave an email address OM then YL, 'Cryout' - Yendri, "This now concludes ..." by OM then YL, email address by both, 'Nsk' - Laibach, 0245 off, carrier drops about 45 sec. later.

S8 signal but unclear here.  Some ongoing ute like signal on USB after s/off probably contributed to the somewhat difficult reception here.

Thanks for the show!
Nice RX report!  Sounds like it came out of my local monitors there at times.

Trying out a new winradio receiver plus your signal does really well in these parts - thanks again for the show!
