SINPO=13111 right now.

2143- Recorded OM ID, "This is The Vault." Between classic rock tunes, still tough to copy this early.

2201- "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.

Blondie "Heart of Glass" at 2202 UTC.  Weak signal at the moment in SW FL, but the strong bass makes it easy to recognize this song.  I heard something here around this time yesterday, the signal is much better today.
2206 Ballad with male vocals
2210 Simple Minds "Don't You Forget About Me"
