S5 here with occasional pesc QRM.  Audio seems low, but improving.  Difficult copy.
Bubbly sounds @ 0036, then OM announcer [mostly garbled].  ID @ 0042z and into 'Welcome to my Breakdown'
ID and Happy Halloween wishes @ 0047z, signal improving with fair copy now.

Good signal here at 0031 UTC tune in on 6919.7 KHZ AM with a reggae song with unusual lyrics!
0035 UTC Water gurgling sounds followed by man announcer with ID..."Witch City Radio...on Halloween...hope you're enjoying the broadcast", into what sounds like Vincent Price voice chatting about something strange.... :o
0041 UTC Man announcer gave his name (hopefully not the real name!) and Witch City Radio ID, into "Welcome To My Nightmare"-Alice Cooper
0047 UTC Man announcer..."Salem, MA, home of famous witch trial...Witch City Radio, followed by spoken word reading....House of Usher(I'm getting a very clear copy here using USB!) Edgar Allen Poe tale
0056 UTC Man announcer..."OK Folks...With City Radio...Salem, Massachusetts..hope you like the show....QSL... Vampire", followed by a rather strange and eerie tune!
Great Sunday evening show here WCR op! My first logging of Witch City Radio, and it was a good one! Trick or Treat?

Fair to Poor signal that sometimes drops to Unusable.

Lots of ID's, lots of holiday music.  A few stories, currently, about the House of Usher.

Not sure if undercurrent of "stuff" is part of show or QRM.
