2343z - Music. SIO 533 via Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical. Good carrier peaking over S9+10 at times, though modulation seems comparatively low.
2347z - OM on the mic.
2351z - Station ID, OM, then music.
2358z - OM into music. Further tweaked noise DSP and sound processing to bring up the audio here. SIO 533 tending SIO 534 now.
0001z - Station ID.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)

Remarkable signal on N.E. Beverage. +10 over s9 with slow rolling QSB. SINPO-44444
2022-W.O.L.D.-Harry Chapin
2024- Stn ID and inter-song talk by male announcer. Reverb on voice, medium room but a little wet for good clarity through the selective fade.
2024- YL soprano, name of song missed although I do remember it.
2031- Sign Off
