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!?

0005: S9 with light QRN using the Schrewsbury VT KiwiSDR.  Heard Billy Holiday's cover of "My Old Flame."

0038:  David Bowie, "Young Americans".  I just noticed that the pirates seem to play a lot of Bowie and Steely Dan.  I'm guessin' that a lot of them are over the age of 60. Jus' sayin'.

Wolverine found a better spot, imo. Thanks! The show sounds great. Strong and clear. Great tune at the moment, sounding really good.


Tonight I'm using a Winradio G-39 DDC Excelsior and a Wellbrook loop.
