0023 Faint music copyable in Denver. Sounds familiar but I can't quite name that tune.
0029 Signal came up a bit, enough to copy "New Moon on Monday" Duran Duran.
0032 "Memphis Monday Morning" Bobby Bland
   Signal nice now at 0037, SIO 222 with S7 peaks.
0041 "Except for Monday" Lorrie Morgan
0044 Moonlight Radio ID into "It Sure Is Monday" Mark Chesnutt
   Signal back to noise floor level as of 0546

Thanks for the Wolverine-style show!
