Just tuned in at 0129 UTC. Only wisps of music coming through my speaker here near Seattle, but very fair via the Northern Utah SDR, especially when listening in USB mode.

0129 UTC: "Take Me Home" by Phil Collins.
0132 UTC: "Home by the Sea" by Genesis.
0136 UTC: "Nothing but the hits ... We're Ballsmacker Radio" ID.
0137 UTC: "Nobody Home" by Pink Floyd. The signal's slightly more audible when it fades in and peaks at my radio here than 10 minutes ago, but I'm still listening via Utah.
0141 UTC: Announcer gave the email address repeatedly for those who guessed the theme.
0142 UTC: "Sunny Came Home" by Shawn Colvin (good song!).
0146 UTC: "Homeward Bound" by Simon and Garfunkel.
0148 UTC: Ballsmacker ID, then "Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp (I LOVED this song as a 9-year-old kid).
0153 UTC: "Last Child" by Aerosmith. Signal's fading a bit as the frequency gets noisier via the SDR.
0156 UTC: ID and email address given again by announcer. Noise starts really taking over as a Bon Jovi song starts.
