Tuned in at 0103 utc on Ottawa Ontario sdr with weak noisy S7 to S9 signal, Audio is bass heavy, I heard myself as Garfield Morris from an old KAT cassette that I sent out to people who reported my broadcast from my friend Pam's house on the rock river in Edgerton WI (25 miles SE of Madison) back in the 1990's, now playing "hey baby I'm your telephone man" (I worked for Ma Bell for 36½ years in the central offices), switched to Amherst NH sdr with same signal, at 0122 African tune "Skokian" from my first bcst, at 0126 heard myself giving KAT ID then talk of the late Richard J Daley, mayor of Chicago 1955-1976, switched back to Ottawa ONT sdr, song: "dear officer Krupke" from West Side Story, switched to Fair Hill MD sdr with slightly better S9 to S9+10 signal, end of broadcast announcement. Oh man this was a real trip. Thanks, whoever did this. Carrier off at 0140.

I am unfamiliar with this concept of outing yourself 30 years after the fact.

LOL! Just about everyone who posts on a pirate site has gone to the dark side once or a few hundred times. James Brownyard, back in the day's of the ACE said you could figure out who the new pirates were because they had their names removed from the list of listeners. How right he was!
