Listening via the SDR in Presque Isle, Wisconsin, which is receiving an S9ish signal and pretty good audio amid the noise ...

0051 UTC: "What Time is Love?" by The KLF (a band I love!).
0052 UTC: "Make It Rain" by The KLF.
0055 UTC: "3 a.m. Eternal" by The KLF. The "This is Radio Freedom" announcement is part of this song.
0056 UTC: Audio's sounding more distorted with more fading now.
0058 UTC: Off?

True fact: Because I'm not a ham, whenever an SDR asks me for my call sign in order to log in, I type in "KLF." The KLF/aka Justified Ancients of Mu Mu/aka The Timeloads were a very weird band, but they made some catchy music!
