Suddenly up to S8 after being just above the noise @ 2202 with "She Caught The Katy" Peter Frampton
2240 - still S8 with live recording of band with YL singer.
2258 - back down to s6 and fades now
2315 - getting occasional peaks back up to S8 now, but lots of fades.  Live music still continuing.
2320 - switched to the BOG and the fades are much lighter now, sounding very good.
2326 - carrier off, thanks for the show!  I will post a video link here of my reception later.

2212 S7 with guitar instrumental of some sort.  Refrain sounds like 'Smoke on the Water', but vocals are not Deep Purple.  Boogie something?
2224 Sounds like a live album of some sort, can't tell if the song switched.  Now S4 and pretty much in the noise.
