Also nicely heard in Masset, BC, Tony.  Thanks for the alert!   Happy New Year!  Walt.
Taped the program.  Very amateurish with all sorts of drop outs.  Finally wished everyone a Happy New Year and left the air at 03:44 UTC.  Never ID'd although earlier in the hour, had a TC for 6:14 PM, so maybe an Alaskan pirate?

This aircheck seems to be all of the transmission. Lots of bleeps and bloops amongst the music
