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!?

S10+ signal and good audio heard via the Traverse City, Michigan, SDR amid moderate background noise levels ...

0126 UTC: "The Streets of Laredo" by Marty Robbins.
0128 UTC: Hank Hill saying "That's more like it" about the music and giving VFO Radio ID, then "Pancho and Lefty" by Willie Nelson.
0132 UTC: Hank Hill (or, more precisely, his AI doppelganger) talking about how much he likes Willie Nelson and Bobby Hill chimed in. That was followed by "There Ain't No Good Chain Gang" by Johnny Cash.
0136 UTC: Male host gave sign-off message: ID and email address over an instrumental version of "America the Beautiful."
0137 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the music, VFO Radio. Sorry I didn't tune in earlier!
