SDR recording catch,
0401 sign on with heavy over modulated music.
0402 OM talk, sounded like a Radio Metallica Worldwide ID. Slightly better modulation, but still a bit hot.
0403 heard over music: "Doctor Tornado... Radio Metallica Worldwide testing on 6955 shortwave... 6955 powerhouse... the most powerful pirate station in the nation... we'll see you later... bid you a farewell... Radio Metallica Worldwide... 73s... somewhere out there... you'll never know... Radio Metallica Worldwide non profit shortwave pirate station... 6955 shortwave, enjoy the show...  Radio Metallica Worldwide"
0405 Off

Very strong signal, SIO 555.

Wow, wish I had heard that. A pirate from the days when men were men, and giants walked the earth, and real radios had real knobs...

Is that a "Commander Bunny For President" shirt you're wearing, Al?

SDR recording for me at s4, barely audible audio, deep fades. no atmospheric interference.
sdr with horizontal loop antenna, 20 feet up, 250 feet all around. wellbroke loop for amdx and tropdx, very very lucky reception.
