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 Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S9+ signal and fair to good audio despite some noise on the band ...

0028 UTC: Male, robotic-style voice talking about the Link spacecraft. He also gave the email address: [email protected]. That was followed by "The French Song" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.
0032 UTC: Male talking more about the Swift Observatory and the Link spacecraft. He then gave the email address again.
0034 UTC: "Baby Let Me Take You Home" by The Animals.
0036 UTC: "Caught in a Trap" by The Contrast. Big, wide QRM signal wiped out the audio at times during the song.
0038 UTC: Robotic voice again with a technical message and ID.
0039 UTC: SSTV transmission. Image said "LINK" and included the NASA logo.
0041 UTC: Off.

Thanks for the broadcast!
