Solid S-7, here in N. Alabama. 

0120 - ID of Blackstar, with mention of frequencies, followed by Bowie's "Fashion" & "Modern Love".  Another "Blackstar ID at 0129, followed by Bowie's "China Girl".  Followed by more Bowie songs (seemed to be truncated versions), which were not recognizable, to me.  I thought I heard another "Blackstar Radio" ID at 0138, followed by another UNID Bowie song..

SDR recording catch, heard from as early as 0037 with a general weak signal, although there were a few periods when it shot up to SIO 333 or even 444.
