S6 with peaks up to S9
2300 - Forties music, then "Tune your radio to the CONELRAD stations, either 640 or 1240 kilocycles. Listen carefully to the instructions. Your life depends on how well you follow them."
2304 - More music, unidentified
2304 - "By all means provide some tranquilizers to ease the strain...a bottle of 100 for a family of 4...Tranquilizers are not narcotics and are not habit forming. Ask your doctor for his recommendation." Then more forties music.
2307 Air raid sirens and SSTV, then discordant electronic music - electric guitar and male vocals
2314 More SSTV, then more discordant music with chimes and male vocals
2322 Smoke on the Water
2328 SSTV
2339 Air raid sirens, SSTV, Air raid sirens, then same CONELRAD announcement as at 2300. Back to forties music.
2346 CONELRAD announcement again, more forties music
2354 or so QRT.

Thanks for the show!

Listening via the Northern Utah SDR, as the signal's not quite making it to my place northeast of Seattle.

2307 UTC: Air raid sirens.
2308 UTC: SSTV transmission.
2310 UTC: "Have a Cigar" by Pink Floyd.
2314 UTC: SSTV transmission (my app couldn't decode it).
2315 UTC: "Hey You" by Pink Floyd started, stopped, then "Time" by Pink Floyd.
2322 UTC: "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple.
2328 UTC: SSTV transmission. More noise and fading on this frequency than 15 minutes ago; signal's no longer booming.
2329 UTC: Rock instrumental - Shazam won't ID it for me.
2335 UTC: Start of new song, then short SSTV, then continuation of "Not Fade Away/Goin' Dpwn the Road Feeling Bad" by the Grateful Dead.

Thanks for the tunes!
