Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

Quite strong and excellent audio into western PA SDR. 0135 my favorite Joe Jackson song, not that I love a whole bunch of them.

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.

This one really is the gold standard, actual pleasant listening (SSB can't do that!) while I'm doing other things, more than just the novelty of finding a pirate radio station.

Caught the tail end of Ball Smacker Radio at 0244z, fair signal into western NY.  Then off.
