S7 to S9 signal heard via the Lodi, New York, SDR with very good audio that's staying well above tonight's noise ...

0314 UTC: "Art Bell" talking about shortwave radio gear and how MARS transceivers are the gold standard.
0316 UTC: "Some Velvet Morning" by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood.
0317 UTC: Art interrupts the song and then tells a story about going to the North Pole and finding Santa had disappeared. Then the elves turned to cannibalism; 77LJS was referenced at the end of the story.
0321 UTC: "Jingle Bell Rock" by Bobby Helms.
0324 UTC: Art now saying that eggs have gotten "too round" and taste worse.
0327 UTC: "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
0329 UTC: Art complaining about the UNID Tones pirate station, calling it "auditory waterboarding." But he loves numbers stations, even the fake ones. He then read a ranting poem about UNID Tones.
0333 UTC: "Hazy Shade of Winter" cover by The Bangles.
0336 UTC: Art now ranting about winter.

I'm off to a late dinner now, but thanks for broadcasting another episode with Art!

Very entertaining Art Bell commentary mentioning HFU
And UNID Radio . . .
Art doesn't like quality of HFU logs
