Nothing here, but I did check several SDR's during the broadcast. The only thing I heard for certain was the 0006 DMC/Aerosmith song on the Milford PA SDR. S4 with a lot of noise. Possibly some OM talking after that and then nothing.
SDRs, PL-880, Alpha Delta DX-SWL Sloper, X-Wing SATCOM, Southern Colorado

Some traces of music on the SDR recording around 2350 UTC, but the peskies were much stronger.
