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!?

Excellent signal with "Bunny on the Rainbow" by Rosemary Clooney at about 0038. Announcer on with talk about rodent freedom fighters, then gave long gone DC maildrop. Radio Ganymede op called back. I think I remember this being the Easter 1990 WBNY broadcast. <pause> then back with Family Guy song about the FCC
