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 Presque Isle, Wisconsin ...

0127 UTC: "Money is the Name of the Game" by Buster Benson.
0132 UTC: "Money (That's What I Want)" by Barrett Strong. Terrible ute interference at times.
0135 UTC: Male host talking on the mic with WBLU ID and saying he's about out of time for the night.
0136 UTC: SSTV transmission; no chance of a clear decode through this noise.
0137 UTC: Sound clip or something else said, then off.

Thanks for the music tonight!
