Carrier and some spoken word audio noted at 1852 UTC, then gone or faded
Back up again with spoken word skit with some S5 peaks and deep fades
1857 UTC On and off again....testing I guess! Maybe the signal going on and off is me on the edge of the skip zone?

1946 UTC Seems to be back again with some eerie music

I only caught the last three minutes (somehow appropriate).  I heard the end of the radio play and the credits, but the broadcast ended just as the announcer was going to state the name of the director of the following week's program.

35453 in Wyomissing.
