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!?

S5 to S7 signal via the Lodi, New York, SDR with very good audio ...

0054 UTC: Episode of "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" in progress. Wondering if this is WDEF, which has been playing radio drama episodes lately.
0101 UTC: The Philip Marlowe episode is continuing, but lots of QRM from USAF MARS on 6994 USB.
0107 UTC: USAF MARS is now off, making this much easier to hear again.
* * * * *
0115 UTC: Checked back to hear "The Corporal Told the Private" by Vaughn Monroe.
0117 UTC: Ad for the Onion.com, then "Rock and Rye" by Earl "Fatha" Hines.
* * * * *
0148 UTC: Checked back to hear a "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" episode wrapping up.
0150 UTC: Robotic-voiced WDEF ID, then "You Can Do Magic" by America.
0154 UTC: "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" by Bob Dylan.
0157 UTC: "What Is and What Should Never Be" by Led Zeppelin.
0202 UTC: Morse code message (which I couldn't decipher), then "Achilles Last Stand" by Led Zeppelin.

Thanks for the music and radio dramas tonight, WDEF!
