A bit sketchy signal on the north coast but the ID I heard was ‘Sky Radio’ — a europirate or someone relaying them? The ancmts sounded Dutch to my ear. …

Sugar Sugar and Doobie Brother’s ‘listen to the music just before that ID. …

DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay

Nice signal here. S-8, SIO 433/444. "Wishful Thinking" by China Crisis
2250 - Nice BIG "Sky Radio" ID, into "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak.
2305 - SIO 322, Eurythmics? Kinda sounds like Annie Lennox.
2311 - "Down Town" Petula Clark, significantly below QRN now.
