- this appears to be a repeat broadcast of https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,155946.msg476544.html#msg476544
in which someone set the ID in (my) subject line as "The Space Age", and so I'm setting it here as well.

Thanks for the show. Please provide us a station ID.

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!?

Music heard faintly. Sounds like good stuff. Now, it sounds like talking...now, a song can be heard. Everything is weak signal, but it's there without little to no fading. Thanks for the show! Fight for free radio.

Excellent signal. Unfortunately, I only caught the last two minutes of the show, with some instrumental music, then "space age" mentioned 2X (sounded like it was clipped from an ad), then the classic Apollo Christmas greetings & off
