Now reception via radio.

2232 Music above noise but not clear enough to ID yet.

2252 "Imagination" Belouis Some
2254 "Coney Island" (great fun place of my youth) Van Morrison
2256 "Why" Annie Lennox
2303 (Reception faded for a few minutes but now back) "I Ran" A Flock of Seagulls
2305 The Vault Keeper talking live but too noisy to get entire context.  So, I must be the first in North America to hear The Vault Keeper on radio live  :D.

23:46 UTC - Very weak signal into my location. The only way I can hear anything is by tuning in SSB;
23:50 UTC - The Beatles - Come Together;
23:57 UTC - Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home;
00:03 UTC - Series of tones followed by pips then station ID: "Listening to the Vault". End of broadcast.
