0103:  S7 improving to S9 with "Highway to Hell", but intermittent on the Pittsburgh KiwiSDR.  Heard OM say something like "Come on Drake". Went silent about 0106 and followed up with "The Bird is the Word".

0110:   More intermittent transmissions  --  loose antenna connector?  Also getting some AC hum...
