Really nice signal & audio on the Philco 16X. Kinda surprised that the station playing Steely Dan is Sternradio

Not the first time I've played Steely Dan!  Steely Dan, a real, real hard test of a transmitter.  My first pirate transmissions, were accidental Steely Dan transmissions as it turns out.  Instead of going out the dummy load...they went out, the antenna.  What better tunes to test a transmitter with.  Thrash metal, yeah, you can explain away that crap to being "content", Steely Dan, doesn't give you any excuses

The Heep it is.  I've got a UH tshirt on at the moment as it turns out.  Saw them a few years ago.  They were playing out near a really big radio related convention.

Great track for the hard panned intro in stereo. Yes, yes, glorious independent sideband stereo!

Great to hear you again. Thanks for the program!

Transmitter is still going band has shifted.  Our friends in central and western North America are getting more of a show now.  I don't think they get to hear me as often for some reason.
