Tuned in just in time to hear end of "Anode Current," Die Form at 2150. Then sign off in English and German with E-mail address at 2152 followed by "NSK," Laibach. OFF at 2156.

Signal was S9+20 and seemed to be 15 kHz or more wide!

My off-air recording:

Also caught the second transmission (rebroadcast?) from 2205 to 2307. My off-air recording:

Transmitter needed smoke break.  Back on air for a bit.
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.
