I didn't hear him (it?) but I know what PPV stands for from earlier posts. This is the type of garbage that may bring down the wrath of Uncle Sam on the pirate community.

I got email from Rave On Radio saying they'd be on but all I heard was Insane Radio on 6924+am. After Insane left air all I heard was static and a feeble hint of Spanish language from gulf fishermen.
