Good reception, some distortion
1306 "Riders On The Storm" Snoop Dog/The Doors
1309 Brit OM mentions Radio Caroline, explains where broadcast emanated - somewhat choppy/noisy now
1312 Maybe YL has joined OM "...a single note.."  (Radio Next?) 6953 frequency, "We are signing off but not (forgotten?)....."  "We were never supposed to last this long"
1315 YL "No sign off, no good bye, only the ghost....."
1316 SSTV
1317 Another
1318 Off?
