S9+ signal with good audio received via the SDR at Fair Hill, Maryland, with moderate noise levels and slight fading ...

2236 UTC: Very serene instrumental music.
2238 UTC: British-accented female voice: "You're listening to the Pirate Operators Relay Network. The broadcast begins after this interval signal."
2239 UTC: ID announcement again.
2241 UTC: Female voice: "Right, let's get straight on with it then." Then a loon call and female voice with ID of North Woods Radio (a classic pirate station) into "Trick or Treat" by Halloween.
2244 UTC: Other op interfering on this frequency as the station moved up to 6960 AM, all while the song "Haunted" by Innovative Multimedia was playing.
2248 UTC: "Scared to Death" by Halloween.
2251 UTC: "Halloween" by Halloween.
2254 UTC: Bird sounds and then a male voice: "This is North Woods Radio. North Woods Radio, broadcasting freedom from the Great Lakes." That was followed by "Nightmares" by Halloween.
2259 UTC: "Victims of the Night" by Halloween.
2303 UTC: "Candles" by Halloween.
2307 UTC: North Woods Radio ID again.

Thanks for the classic pirate program! I'll keep listening as I get some work done here.

Fair/good with hard rock, but I'm also hearing pescadores or other things on the frequency. I turned off the R8's preamp in case it was pulling in images, but it's still pretty messy. Great to hear Northwoods again.

Signal improved a lot. Heard a few different Northwoods IDs, then English-accented YL computer voice with Pirate Operators' Relay Network IDs over light synth music
