I am but it's a tough copy. I am hearing Cheap Trick-Surrender at 0450z.
And I have not heard an ID yet either.
0454z - I THINK I heard a Turtle Head ID.
0459z - Duffy - Mercy?
0502z - Shoutouts to Mr. Shortwave, Kilokat7, and me. Thanks THR!
0505z - Unknown song. Receiving THR at S4. Some serious fading.
0510z - Lost them for a bit. Now hearing Robert Plant. I forgot the song. Sorry!
0516z - Again, lost them for a bit in the noise. Now hearing some kind of Hip Hop Remix?
0519z - Several TH ID's in a row. Starting to fade again.
0526z - Starting to come up once again. Everclear - AM Radio.
0532z - Big Audio Dynamite - Rush
0536z - Several ID's again and into Beck - Ghettochip Malfunction
0540z - Shoutouts to us again, advised the end of his transmission and into SSTV (which my stupid program just dumped before I could see it). Anybody else get it?

Seemed to sign on around 0430z, via the SDR recording. First clear THR ID heard at 0453z. Extremely weak signal and tough copy under the static.
