Tuned in at 1653 to hear "More Than A Feeling" by Boston at S4 (S5 peaks).  Noisy but readable.  Good copy on peaks.

2055 UTC - clip from "Full Metal Jacket"

"I think I was trying to say something about the duality of man, SIR!"
"what?"

2057 UTC - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
2101 UTC - I'm gonna get high man, gonna get loose...need me a triple shot of that juice Signal up to S7 with peaks to S8 armchair copy!
2105 UTC - Machine gun sound effect into Surfin' Bird with helicopter flyover sounds (more Full Metal Jacket clips)
2108 UTC - Van Halen - I'll Wait (another Amphetamine Radio staple) - signal dropped down a tiny bit to S5 with peaks to S6
2112 UTC - The Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon (another signal strength jump right back up to S9!)  

As usual, a bit of fading but still armchair copy.  Nice wide AM signal and great audio from Relay Station (or is it The Relay Station ?)
