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 S7 to S9 signal and pretty good audio amid lots of noise ...

2338 UTC: Dita talking over instrumental music about tuning into stations on shortwave. "Rage against the silence!"
2340 UTC: Dita gave an ID into the song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zeppelin.
2343 UTC: Sounded like the station was transmitting waterfall images, but I couldn't see them on the SDR I'm using.
2346 UTC: "Revolution" by The Beatles.
2349 UTC: Co-hosts (I can't remember the name of Dita's co-host!) talking after a news theme tune discussion/arguing about trees being cut down for a golf course.
2353 UTC: "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell played while the co-hosts continued to argue in the background.
2355 UTC: Co-hosts giving an ID and then Dita talking to listeners again about raging against the noise and the dying of the light (credit goes to Dylan Thomas for that phrase).
2357 UTC: Dita: "Turn your radio on!" This sounds similar to the soliloquy back at 2338 UTC.
2359 UTC: Dita gave an ID into the song "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Rage Against the Machine.
0005 UTC: "Rockin' in the Free World" cover by Suzi Quatro.
0009 UTC: Dita talking again about radio over music.

Thanks, as always, for an entertaining broadcast!

2346 Revolution
2350 news report - "vertical landscaping" and more "crimes against language"
2353 Big Yellow Taxi, with more conversation over it?
2355 ID Dita will continue despite static noise, and I do hear you!
2359 ID, rage against the silence, into The Ghost of Tom Joad

0010 Dita - not done yet
