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 ...

0012 UTC: Music, but just barely audible. Seems to be gaining in strength, however.
0013 UTC: "Something About You" by Level 42.
0014 UTC: "Let Me Go" by Heaven 17. The music's fading in slowly, but there's still lots of noise and static crashes.

Under the noise here in Northeast NJ. Heard "Something About You" by Level 42, but now it has dropped below the noise at 00:15

Using an IC-R75 and PAR EF SWL

Edit: 00:38 hearing "It's My Life" by Talk Talk

I have a solid S-7 noise level here in this urban paradise.

00:57 "Shout"  Tears for Fears

01:08 - signal greatly improved here.
