I also have some audio on it, and the signal is probably about S5, but the static is making this one tough for me at 0049 UTC (10/1). Kind of a mellow song with a female singer.

S8-S9 signal in NY at 0048 UTC.  Ballad with female vocals, and string accompaniment.  Apparently off at 0051, just as I am typing this log.
