Punching in here at S7 at 2253 UTC with English folk music with a bit of psychedelia
2254 UTC OM with WCTU ID (Never heard this ops voice before...), followed by another English folk tune sounding like Fairport Convention
2259 UTC OM with a kind of drawling voice ID'ing as WCTU, into a bluesy folk tune with OM singer and harmonica playing(There was a "You Got Mail" over the song :D)
OM at 2304 UTC and 2306 UTC...Signal faded quickly after 2306 UTC...buried in the noise now

Here, too, with a good signal. It's WCTU; the station was on in the '90s, but hasn't been around for about 20 years.

Thanks for the show!
