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 good audio despite a ute-like noise in the background and some fading ...

0105 UTC: "Medicated Goo" by Traffic.
0106 UTC: The Drunken DJ mentioned the previous song, gave the station ID, and then introduced the next song.
0107 UTC: "The Song is Over" by The Who.
0113 UTC: Drunken DJ giving shout-outs to HFU posters. (My image is from a Realistic SW-60 Patrolman, my first radio as a teen.)
0115 UTC: "Friday On My Mind" by The Easybeats.
0117 UTC: More HFU shout-outs from the Drunken DJ to Gilles and others.
0118 UTC: "Dancing Barefoot" by Johnette Napolitano.
0123 UTC: The Drunken DJ was talking about the music, giving more HFU shout-outs, and then saying he wanted to transmit an SSTV image soon.
0124 UTC: "Walking Spanish" cover by Steve Johnson.
0129 UTC: The Drunken DJ doing more HFU shout-outs, an ID, and then playing more music.

It's been quite a while since I last heard WDDR. Thanks for the broadcast tonight!

0059 on Empire MI sdr1 with good S9-S9+10 signal, came on after Wolverine, "refugee" Tom Petty, DJ banter, more rock tunes,
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise.
