Weak; just above a very active noise floor; 40's song by a man at 0217z. Sounds like they went into a comedy routine now.

Now using Shazam for song identification

Still there at 0750 playing 1940-ish music, then into a dramatic series (unknown name) at 0800.  Reception is fair in Central NJ, lots of static tonight.  NBC Chimes at 0829, followed by "The Black Museum" starring Orson Welles @ 0830.

Just a carrier here at 1537z.

3 MHz really doesn't get out very far in the daytime...
