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!?

0124 A bit over S9 tonight. Ballsmacker is usually much stronger here, so the propagation path to my QTH may be poor tonight. Usual good audio.
