22:23 UTC - Weak but readable. Nice S7 signal with good modulation into my part of North America. This is the first time it comes in this well for me;
22:34 UTC - Switched antenna to the Wellbrook loop. Sounding much better now with less noise, Supertramp - The Logical Song followed by an interesting mix of Riders on the Storm;
23:26 UTC - Station ID;
23:31 UTC - Carrier off and end of broadcast.

Thank you for the show.
