7/11/12, 6930 USB, 0215z: Music and voice just barely audible through heavy local noise and t-storm QRN, only able to copy a bit of lyrics that sounded like "...fire in the sky..."

Thanks for the heads up Lex, otherwise I would have likely missed this. Checking the SDR recording, I note it starting at about 0148z, but extremely weak.

At the very end of the transmission at 0217z, after the music, an OM was talking for about 10 seconds. I could not make out what he was saying, but here is a recording:

Any ideas?
