2228 UTC "Welcome to Radio Free Whatever..Rrrr P Mmmm", into another tune
2231 UTC An echo voiced Dickweed & Stavin ID'd songs played and next one coming up..."young and tight" :o, into "When You Were a Tulip"
2235 UTC ID, then some piano improv big band jazz
2238 UTC "RPM", then the signal disappeared.... ???

S3 to S5 here, but able to hear some ragtime music. Heard the Radio Free Whatever earlier. I suspect the signal will improve as the grayline gets closer. Thank you for the broadcast :)
