Tuned in at 0008utc, fair/poor sig, various ads from decades ago incl rice-a-roni, frito bandito song, doublemint gum, brylcream, R2000 & dipole, nothing after 0018utc, BTW, I presume you meant 0005utc not 0500utc.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Came back in from helping a neighbor and caught the very end of it with the Andy Griffith Theme along with Batman. Signal was a big S8-9 and audio good. Thanks whoever you were. ???

SDR recording catch, noted from 0000z with some old ads.

I also heard the TV theme music later, those were much stronger, so presumably from another station?

Update: This was Rave on Radio with a test, as per the op. However the two TV show themes were not them, but someone else.
