Very good reception, some minor interference from REE on 11940.  Broadcast is in Japanese with a mix of pop music in many languages.

1723 American pop tune that I was not familiar.
1725 OM in Japanese
1726 YL singer in perhaps French
1729  Unid Wispy, hymn-like like tune - think Stevie Nicks, unknown language

Excellent reception, OM in Japanese with English songs

Remarkably great list tunes today from 1708 utc, 30 Jan 2020, it sounded as if OM said Grammy several times.  Perhaps all Grammy winners:

 "Volare" - Dean Martin
"Taste of Honey" - Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass
 "Strangers in the Night" Frank Sinatra
"Mrs. Robinson" - Simon & Garfunkel
"It's Too Late" - Carole King
"Killing Me Softly" Roberta Flack
"Hotel California" The Eagles
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" Bobby McFerrin
"All I Want To Do" Sheryl Crow
