I have it with a fair signal and Ozzy song.  This is probably the Voice of the Sky.  There was post in Broadcast Announcements from VSky on this frequency and time.
0005, Just ID as Voice of Sky.  Into an Eddy Money song, Shaking.
0007 Signal is better now (SNO 434)  Thanks for the show!

S7-S8 signal heard via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR ...

0004 UTC: "I Don't Know" by Ozzy Osbourne.
0005 UTC: OM host on the mic with a welcome, V-SKY ID, giving the website and email addresses, and introducing the next song, "Shakin'" by Eddie Money.
0009 UTC: "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston.
0016 UTC: "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy.
0020 UTC: OM on the mic with ID, gave the wrong frequency (6975) in his haste, then introduced the next song, "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. Signal's struggling to stay above S7 now; it's noisy out there tonight!
0024 UTC: "Got Me Under Pressure" by ZZ Top.
0028 UTC: OM on mic, mentioned he's playing his music on vinyl tonight, then he played a prank call recording.
0031 UTC: ID into "Nothin' But a Good Time" by Poison.

Thanks for the Friday night tunes, V-SKY!
