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!?

At 0205, this station ID'd in Morse as WDEF

0157 The Most Beautiful Girl in the World, with a Percy Faith- type orchestra
0159 another tune, I don't know it
0200 another, this one in 3/4 time
0202 I'll bet it's Lawrence Welk, with an accordion and Thomas organ
0205 ID in Morse after a couple of QRZ's, then "the following music will test if your right and left channels are balanced"

Receiver:  Lodi NY SDR
