The Butthole Surfers singing Pepper I think. S3-5 with some static.
Behind Blue Eyes at 0111Z?

After the FCC song a male said Mrs. Griffith that was terrific" a female voice said only "bye bye" and the station went off the air.

Signal coming up, becoming easier to hear but still fading out at times.  S3-5 here in Dayton OH.
0106 - Primus?
0111 - Behind Blue Eyes cover
0123 - The Prodigy "Serial Killer"
0128 - some punk Pirate Radio song
0130 - a remix / cover of the original "Batman" Open tune
0134 - "Ballroom Blitz"

Seems to have faded to nothing by 0140. Was fun while it lasted.

Very weak here, bits of music coming thru.  Carrier has 3 or 4 second period fading probably station modulation not propagation, Carrier moved around by 300-Hz at 01:08 UTC.

Better signal at 01:11, "Behind Blue Eyes" cover by ?
Fishy heard under 01:14 UTC

More sudden frequency excursions 01:19.

Bat Man @ 01:33

off air 01:41 UTC.  No IDs heard here but out of the room at s/off...

Tuned in at 0133 to the batman theme and then 'ballroom blitz' and carrier dumped at :37 --- 2+4342 here in South Central lower Michigan

Never heard an ID -- or any announcements for that matter -- did anyone?

DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay
