S9ish signal and good audio heard via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR amid moderate background noise ...

0000 UTC: Sounds from the Pac-Man video game (very nostalgic!).
0001 UTC: Computerized voice with ID, email address (shortwavepirateqsls.com), and "don't forget to keep 43 meters weird." Then, more video game sounds.
0003 UTC: Video game tune I don't recognize, followed by more game noises.
0006 UTC: More video game theme songs; gotta love those 8-bit tunes!
0010 UTC: Video game tunes and play sounds continue.
0015 UTC: More video game tunes and sound effects.
0018 UTC: ID and email address announcement again in the computerized voice, then more Pac-Man sound effects.
0025 UTC: 8-bit game tunes and gaming sounds continue.
0040 UTC: Still going when I checked back.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip for all of us who were teenagers in the 1980s!

0028 amazingly Shazam provided a result from this arcade music: "8-bit mania" from "Ultimate DJ tools."  Strong into Fair Hill MD SDR.

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.
