Got a death-at-sea theme going with "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and now an excerpt from Iron Maiden's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

On at 0328z with a song I couldn't ID.
0331  Edmund Fitzgerald
0337  Rime of the Ancient Mariner
0351  Highwayman - Johnny Cash
0354  Sounds like an ID, Red Mercury!  Gone for a few minutes.
0357  Back on again, Shazam says this is Shirley Bassey - Moonraker.  Signal is fading here, pretty deep in the noise now.
0404  Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain
Sounded like a 73 at 0407, then off.

Signal around S7 -S8, some fading.  Thanks for the show!

Just tuned to it at 0352 UTC here, Highwayman by the Highwaymen playing.  Looks and sounds like Red Mercury Labs to me.

(edit)  0354 UTC, RML with shout outs.  Off 0356, looks like I jsut caught the tail end.  A day late and a dollar short.
(edit)  0357 UTC, back for an encore.  And yep RML, that whole Highwaymen album is one of my favorites.

Red Mercury Labs doing fairly well in NH tonight at S7 which is about even with the noise (kinda high levels tonight compared to recent conditions).  No peskies on LSB for a change definitely makes things more pleasant.

0402z RML ID into a Willie Nelson tune
0407z RML ID and off... Thanks and hope to hear you again soon

Heard RML as a recorder catch on 6925USB, 0328-0407, very good signal.

Details as others have noted, but really liked the Moonraker.  Thanks RML!
