Ditto, via east coast SDR...
6/29/12, 6924.1 AM, 0125z: Sound effects and mashups/edits of various audio bits ("Babylonians... Mars, god of war..."), Radio Free Mars ID.
0151z: After woman's monologue about history of Mars and mythology, spacey version of "Rocket Man", countdown.
0213z: Sounds like Shatner's version of "Rocket Man", nearly buried under QRN now.

Rough copy due to QRN and adjacent heterodyne, but improving with good peaks.
