1804 Just signed on, OM speaking. SIO 322, a fair bit of QSB.
1812 "This is radio, or at least our kind of radio"
1815 Signal just shot up to SIO 444 or so. And back down a little, but still better.
1856 Off. Thanks for the broadcast, something to listen to on a cold cold day.

Fair via Fair Hill, Maryland, though with lots of noise ...
1806 UTC: OM voice with NZ accent talking about pirates briefly.
1807 UTC: Seagull noises and classical music.
1810 UTC: Talk about pirate broadcasting history, still with music in the background.
1813 UTC: Excerpts of "Strangers in the Night" by Frank Sinatra and other songs as talk about radio continues. This sounds like it's old tape from Radio Hauraki, New Zealand's long-running pirate station (it now runs as a licensed station).
1822 UTC: Sounds like a bit of a news break, along with more mentions of Radio Hauraki.
1826 UTC: String of old Radio Hauraki promos continues playing, interspersed with interviews and talk about the station's history. Now listening via the Poland, New York, SDR, where the signal's a bit less noisy.
1835 UTC: Wondering if some of this is from the documentary film about Radio Hauraki's early years called "3 Mile Limit." Or it could just be from the final broadcast of the station as a pirate, where they went through the station's history before the station got legal status.
1837 UTC: "The Times They Are a Changin'" cover by The Seekers.
1838 UTC: "Born Free," the song played by the Radio Hauraki boat as it returned to Auckland in 1970 after four years at sea.
1840 UTC: More music and Radio Hauraki promos continue. Signal's really fading at times now.
Thanks for the broadcast, TRI!
