"Sweet Thing" by David Bowie @ 0148.  S6 to S9 signal.
0153 0 OM announcer, fair copy with mention of Bowie and 'no political stance here'.
0155 - funky song - "I'm Just Like You" by 6ix
0159 - "I'm DJ [???].  going to play some more David Bowie
0201 - "Heroes" by DB
0208 - 'DJ ???' again.  LOTS of QRM from data signal now.
0212 - Radio New England ID, checking out the old equipment, seems to be doing okay.  'maybe needs some more ventilation'

Thanks for the show!

Radio Free New England, 6925 AM, 0148, 2/18/17.  Rap like song into a mellow instrumental, man talking at some length, but peskies and a whistler on LSB made switching to USB and fiddling hard to hear all the op had to say.  Funky music, then announcer with ID twice and talk.
