2352  Tuned in at 2343.  35342.  Nasty QRN from about 6873 to 6877, so switched to LSB. 

Ron

If not for the QRN, the bandwidth is 10,000 Hz or so.

S7 carrier, audio seems a little low but copyable with ""Careless Love" by Ray Charles @ 0004.  Some light fades.
0025 - S9 carrier with jazzy tune "Peanuts", nice bass.
0027 - Phonetic ID by YL, then "Don't Set Me Free" Ray Charles
