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!?

Ripping out about 700W carrier this evening.  It's the transformer I'm keeping an eye on, the tubes I'm okay with, I think.

Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

0213 Band running long now at only S7. Earlier the signal was S9+20.
0249 Now down to S4-5. Interesting to see the band deteriorate for what I suspect is more local to me.
