My guess for the theme:

The songs played seem to involve things like violence, danger, and destructive emotions often expressed through metaphors of weapons, explosives, or sharp objects

Tuned in at 0142 on Brookfield WI sdr with fair S9+10 signal, songs about guns incl "bang bang he shot me down" by Cher,

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com
