On with Yo Ho Ho/Doors interval signal.  Soviet national anthem at 0114z.  5385.5 is the freq I have though.

0138  Stayin' Alive - Bee Gees
0201  Put the Lime in the Coconut, signal has improved, steady S9

Lots of fading, S5 - S9.

0305  Rocky (I've Never Been In Love) - Austin Roberts
Hey Poet!  I haven't heard some of these songs in years!  I hope I don't hear some of them for many more.  :D

11 minutes of awful '70's music, beginning at 0342z:  http://www.mediafire.com/?imp5c33rnuj5vwm

0125z A carrier under S1 on 5395 (and it wanders +- 100 Hz maybe this isn't it?)

I e-mailed John and told him to give it more juice if they have it because the QRN and propagation are killing it! They just got done playing "Stayin' Alive" and are playing another Bee Gees tune now at 01:42UTC I got them at 5385 with the freq going up and down as someone else just mentioned. Currently listening at 5385.7
