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!?

Listening via the SDR in Cape May County, New Jersey, which has an S3 to S4 signal and fair audio amid lots of noise ...

0040 UTC: DJ talking in between songs, but I didn't hear an ID. That was followed by "The Groover" by T. Rex.
* * * *
0046 UTC: "Can the Can" by Suzi Quatro.
0047 UTC: DJ identified the just-played song, then said something else.
0048 UTC: "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles.

Weak copy on my SDR recording, but the low signal strength was probably due to it being right at the edge of the chunk of 43 meters that I record.
