Kinda down in the noise here. Heard the ID clearly.

1909: YL speaking - ID - Radio Free Spirit
1910: Rock music. Sounds like AC/DC maybe.
1915: Radio Silence - Thomas Dolby

1914 YL with ID into "Radio Silence" - Thomas Dolby.
1917 OTA.

Email response at 344pm from Radio Free Spirit:

Thanks for your report. Today was just a test to see if we could activate the transmitter remotely. Unfortunately, the software has a 3 minute watchdog on it, a time-out-timer with no way to disable it. Our station engineer is working on a hardware solution to get past the watchdog.

We haven't been recording any new shows this winter, as the ionosphere is colder than a ghost's stare and that's not good for reliable propagation. Rest assured, we will return to Studio B in the spring.

Happy New Year from the Radio Free Spirit Crew down at the weird end of 43 meters.
