SINPO=34322, with some long fades.

2301- "Venus" by Shocking Blue.
2303- OM, This is Radio Star. Thanks for your reports, with shoutouts to HFU posters. Multiple IDs. Sounds like Johnny Tobacco!
2304- Venus resumes.
2305- JT back, laughing, with shoutout!
2305- Classic rock tune, maybe "I'll Meet You At Midnight" by OM and band.
2308- "The Road To Hell" by Chris Rae.
2313- "My Blou Oog" by Die Kitaarspeler (instrumental).
2317- "My Way" by Sinatra, and then over the music JT with shoutouts. Hopes to be on the air next weekend. Tougher to copy now due to QRN and fading. Then "My Way" by Sinatra resumes.
2321- "Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo" by Alma Colgan.
2323- Off.

Thanks for the show and shoutouts, JT! Always great to hear you across The Pond.
