Tuned in just in time to hear end of "Anode Current," Die Form at 2150. Then sign off in English and German with E-mail address at 2152 followed by "NSK," Laibach. OFF at 2156.

Signal was S9+20 and seemed to be 15 kHz or more wide!

Also caught the second transmission (rebroadcast?) from 2205 to 2307. My off-air recording:

Your sig, reminded me of a song I've not heard in a long time.  Sort of out of genre for what I usually jam out to on air.

Radioactivity is such a crowd pleaser with the SWL community for some reason :)
