Main toys are a Flex SDR, Icom 756 Pro II and other assorted odds & ends. They may be older, but work very well for me.

Very weak USB signal noted shortly after Ballsmacker went off.  0252 signal cam e up with 'Colony' - Joy Divisoin,  Indistinct OM speaking slowly, 'Twenty Four Hours' - music by Joy Divisoin, missed a song, 'Ha Ahe' - Moichat Doma, slow talking, bass voiced OM w/ bit of talk and " WTFX. Underground Pirate Radio",  unfamiliar dense song with instrumental and voices.

S4 - 5.  Weak but still a fair signal.

Coming in decently into Masset, BC so I'm recording it, as I'm now on Subterranean Radio on 6945 USB at the moment!

I went back to listen to my mp3.  A tough copy into Masset, but at 03:29 I could hear the ID, which I couldn't be certain wasn't WGFX, rather than WTFX.  He mentions "I think earthquake", then, "You are listening to WTFX, ?Northland Radio", and back to music. 
At 0350, DJ is back.  "I always thought,....not cracked up to be,....You are listening to WTFX Underground Radio"
More DJ at 0401, with the sign off announcing WTFX, Underground Radio. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, X-ray.  Good night"  and off.  73,  Walt   
PS:  Would love to receive an eQSL!

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!?

Good signal in western New York, SINPO 44444

0302z  Shazam not IDing the song
0305z  "You picked the long straw and now you're on the grid. This is WTFX Underground Radio"
0305z  Shazam can't ID the next song either.
0315z  "There's a noice above ... I suspect it wasn't heaven-sent. This is WTFX Underground Radio, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot X-ray"
0316z  Shazam sort of gets this one, title in cyrillic letters, by Molchat Doma
0318z   Next songs are also too difficult for Shazam
0329z  "There's a crowd outside ... it's just zombies. WTFX"

Thanks for the show! Good night!
