Very good signal and audio being heard directly here near Seattle with some QRM from peskies ...

0259 UTC: "Tell the Truth" by Wicked Lady.
0302 UTC: "Drom Eller Hva'" by Masala Dosa.
0306 UTC: I missed the ID, as the peskies are getting louder, then "Once Around The Harbour" by TNT.
0312 UTC: Male with ID and email address, then off.

Sorry I didn't hear more, but nice to hear you again, Boat Anchor!

SDR recording catch. Noted from 0240 sign on, and I actually think I had a little audio now and then - Boat Anchor Radio is a very tough catch here.
Carrier off 0312 UTC.
