2107 horrible screeching sound, oh it's Fleetwood Mac.
2110 Synth YL... if you would like a QSL... tough to make out what she said. Then I think I heard my name. Hmm.
2122 Another attempt at an ID. I see the voice actor who did adults on peanuts cartoons found work doing the IDs for this station  8)

Strong with fading - 44444

2113 - Edge of Seventeen
2122 - electronic voice - too difficult to understand
2122 - Dreams
2126 - electronic voice announcement
2127 - One of These Nights
2135 - electronic voice announcement
2136 - Big Love

Music comes across with strong audio but the electronic voice announcements have weak audio output

Tuned in at 2129 and the broadcast ended at 2136.  With the noise, I could make no sense of the synthesized voice.  The best the signal got was in the middle of "One of Those Nights," when it was 25342

Heard this one via the Burke, Virginia, SDR after hearing no more than a trace locally ...

2115 UTC: "Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks. The songs played often had an echo or some kind of glitchy sound.
2118 UTC: "Take it Easy (live version)" by Eagles.
2121 UTC: Some sort of unintelligible ID or chat by synthetic female voice. Followed by Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams."
2127 UTC: Amid increased fading, "One of These Nights" by Eagles played.
2134 UTC: That synth voice again saying nothing I could understand, followed by "Big Love (Extended)" by Fleetwood Mac.
2142 UTC: Synth voice again. I made out the word "Maryland" at least once. Then the first few notes of the "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" theme, followed by sign off.

Nice '70s music, but otherwise weird stuff!

Sounds like Pat finally had that sex change and has a crush on you, Chris. You think he'd finally get rid of that ancient voice synth? It's older than JTA.

It's still a little too hot up at the Smith Mt. Lake studio. He must have been tx'ing from home? He's skeert of snakes, despite being one.
