Already getting some audio from Marabu this afternoon, maybe a good evening shaping up for Euro DX?

Marabu's signal is getting pretty decent now with new wavish pop songs. My guess is that this will run all night

About S6 here in my part of Maine, too. Can hear music but not familiar with the song.

At 0114z I can make out Happy Christmas by John Lennon.

I didn't think they would be on this late, but happy they are.  Tuned in at 0122 UTC, playing a pop song with male vocals.  Unfortunately I don't recognize the song, but it is easy to copy.  S7 signal in NY.  Thanks Marabu! ID with laser sound effects at 0126 UTC, then into another pop song. Song by Chicago at 0135 UTC.
