Here also at 2248 UTC with unid instrumental tune...S5 peaks amidst static crashes
Shazam having a tough time with the tunes, but after fine tuning the signal, it hit on "Axel F" at 2258 UTC (says "Galactic Sounds Unlimited")
2303 UTC "Never Gonna Give You Up"-Melody Flowers
2306 UTC "Onyx"-Galactic Sounds Unlimited
Next song sounded like "Wind Beneath My Wings" on synthesizer
2313 UTC Madonna tune on synth
2317 UTC I got the shazam as "Chi Mai", but 3 different artists on 3 different hits
2325 UTC Shazam hit on it as "I've Been In Love Before"-Chillout Mastaz

Thanks for the interesting musical collage!  8)
Please QSL!

Herbie Hancock Axel-F at 2259Z.

Wonder if there’s a loose connection or something?  During previous music signal would go from S5 to QRN and right back again a second or so later
