Great signal in New Hampshire, S9+10

2344z ID, classicpirateradiorelayservice@gmail.com
2347z Tonight's show from "Radio Deadman" - missed the date info

The main audio was good, the Radio Deadman audio is pretty distorted (not a surprise for a 30-year old show I guess).

2200z Allman Bros. "Little Martha", also signed on using this - the CPRRS interval-signal/theme?
2205z Sign off - Thanks for the show, still a great signal at the end.

2224z Back on with "Little Martha"
2228z "This is the Crooked Man calling" into "Satisfaction" cover

Googling shows there was a pirate "Crooked Man" in the 80's-90's, KiloKat7 says show matches an off-air recording he made Oct. 16, 1988  (thanks KK)

2241z Hang on Sloopy (Sloopy hang on)
2243z "The Crooked Man is calling"...
2304z "Little Martha" and sign-off    -   Thanks

S7 to S8 - good signal

2145 - Positive ID by YL as: "Classic Pirate Radio Relay Service"
           E Mail given by YL as: classicpirateradiorelayservice@gmail.com
2147 - Scary Halloween Sounds
2148 - Heard "Radio Deadman" ID over sound effects
2159 - sound effects - owls hooting
2200 - sound effects - cats screeching
2203 - UNID song with guitar
2205 - ID by YL, addy given, she solicits reports
2205 - S/Off - QRT

Voice IDs by YL early on had a better quality than the sound effects.

Another Show followed at 2226 UTC.

Thanks for the Saturday Evening Show!

Caught late with "The Crooked Man" @ 2245 on 6925USB.  Sounded like OM announcer talking about battle of good/evil.  Song "I Am the Walrus" into multiple Crooked Man IDs.
Signal faint and deep in noise floor here at my location in Omaha.
Sounds like another station, even fainter, may be playing below.
Good to hear despite conditions.
