Hearing Boz Scaggs with the dirty 'Lowdown'.
Lots of noise and fading, but occasional moments of clarity.  Nice audio when I can hear it.

'Hey Jude' @ 0059z.  Pescs are getting chatty @ 0100z
'Tiny Dancer' @ 0134z
'Riders on the Storm' by The Doors @ 0137z
'Touch Me' by The Doors @ 0144z
'It Takes Two' @ 0147z  -- A little better condx now that storms have passed.
