2251 UTC with OM with a political commentary. Signal is varying from S3-S5 with excellent audio amidst local storm static.
2258 UTC I guess it's a speech as there is audience applause. Tough copy during fades due to storm static here...
2311 UTC UNID Rock tune OM singer(psychedelic garage rock 8))
2318 UTC Signal varying widely in strength with good peaks and deep fades.
2322 UTC OM with KOTH Shortwave ID, rundown of tracks played
2324 UTC Bluesy psychedelic rock tune OM singer
2335 UTC OM with KOTH pirate shortwave...6930 (I switched to USB due to some loud peskie QRM on LSB. Signal dropped down to just above threshold. UNID punkish garage rock...more Iggy?
2340 UTC OM with ID into "Train In Vain"-The Clash (Back to AM here with peskies gone :))
2344 UTC Prog rock instrumental with sound effects
2351 UTC OFF

Thanks for the test KOTH! Copy would have been much better if it weren't for the local storm static. It's raining here now....
