S7 to S9 signal via the Presque Isle, Wisconsin, SDR with good audio that's fighting at times to stay fully above the noise levels on the band ...

0056 UTC: "Call Me the Breeze" by J.J. Cale.
0059 UTC: "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" by The Alan Parson Project.
0102 UTC: Canned ID: "This is VFO Radio, your favorite pirate station" into "Steamroller (Live)" by James Taylor.
0106 UTC: Man on the mic saying "You can't go wrong with James Taylor," then introducing the next song after giving an ID. That was followed by "You Ain't Going' Nowhere" by The Byrds.
0110 UTC: Announcer on mic again with ID and mentioning the Grateful Dead's next, followed by "Not Fade Away/Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad (Live, 1971)" by Grateful Dead.
