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!?

Okay signal from the icy shores from East Antarctica.  A little less distorted if tune close to 6959.983 or so. If only there was something called a carrier to resolve this sort of thing? ;)
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

After Radio Station WWWW signed off on 6925  USB, I switched over to the super powerful Band-Aid Radio on 6960 USB.  Perfect modulation tonight.  Thanks for working on the transmitter.  Nice and clean audio tonight!  Great music, too!   
03:04   Heh Jude, The Beatles   
03:11 nice monologue by DJ on Band Aid Radio
03:12  Take it Easy, by The Eagles
....   All very nice music
03:32  DJ mentions running out of battery juice (a 800 W battery), with 700W output.
Into his signature sign-off song, Foil by Weird Al Jankovic.    Thanks for a most enjoyable set tonight!  73,  Walt
Wait, is there more?  Someone much weaker is playing Louie, Louie at 03:36!
