2134 "Another One Bites The Dust"

Indeed. I can't make out much on the USB signal I'm copying, but if it were "Another One Bites The Dust" I'd be able to tell.

2152 UTC S8 peaks on carrier here directly with UNID music at low level...the audio and choppy fading tells me this could be a Euro? High noise level here also.

2215 UTC OM with ID "This is the Vault", into "How Long Has This Been Going On"-ACE
2218 UTC "Every Breath You Take"-Police
2235 UTC "57 Channels And There's Nothing On"-Bruce Springsteen
2237 UTC OM with "Welcome to the Vault"
2242 UTC "Young Americans"-David Bowie (Signal is hitting S9 peaks here amidst some OTHR QRM)
