Listening via the Burke, Virginia, SDR, where it's coming in fair to good. No sign of the signal way out west at my place.

1940 UTC: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain.”
1942 UTC: "I Get Weak" by Belinda Carlisle.
1947 UTC: "Rumours in The City" by Ten Sharp.
1950 UTC: "Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco.
1955 UTC: Female voice in German talking, cow mooing sound, then a male speaking. (I took French in high school, so I'm useless at translating any of this.)
1956 UTC: Sounded like an ID, then "Deeply Dippy" by Right Said Fred.
2000 UTC: Sounded like a quick male-voiced ID into "I Want Your Love" by Transvision Vamp.
2003 UTC: Male voice said something in German, then "Crackdown" by Steve Stevens.

Thanks for the good '80s tunes from my teenage years!

Nothing heard on the West Coast, which is not surprising. My regular antenna system is compromised, so am listening on a portable with whip antenna. Wouldn't have expected to hear it on the outdoor antenna either though.

I think that, one of these days, I need to climb in the camper van for an extended trip to the Midwest and East coast with the SW receivers!
