Is that what that was??? I heard it on 23:30UTC in LSB at a nice S+10/9 signal, but could figure out what the hell that creepy voice was announcing.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

I heard that as well, but I was knee deep in the side effects of the second covid shot so didn't feel like doing a report, lol
