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!?

If correct, and I think it is, this would be the first HFU logging of WBLU in nearly 5 years.  Very cool.
