Listening via Weiser, Idaho, SDR ... fair to good signal; not audible locally yet here near Seattle.

0034 UTC: "Time" by Pink Floyd.
0039 UTC: "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd.
0047 UTC: Sounded like silence at first, but it sounded like the audio just dropped low for a moment. Then "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd.
0052 UTC: CW ID over the music; didn't catch it, then "The Great Gig in The Sky" by Pink Floyd started.
0054 UTC: Loud CW over the music again.
0057 UTC: CW again, this time no music in the background. Tried my decoder app, but got nothing decipherable through the increasing noise. Then off?

Caught a SSTV image of a Green Eyed Lady at 0229 after the song.     Noting a theme, as the previous song was Midnight at the Oasis, followed by a SSTV image of a camel.
   Pretty solid signal here in Alberta.

0218 "Midnight at the oasis," SSTV, "Midnight lady," SSTV, then faded down - can hear music and SSTV.  None of the SSTV triggered a usable image.

Barely above the static floor.
