0036:  S7 with significant QRN on the Fair Hill, MD KiwiSDR.  Hearing swing era music; the Larry Clinton orchestra and the very professional sounding ID for VFO Radio.
0056:  Dropped off the air for a moment, then started SSTV transmission.
0059:  A Billy Holiday number

Missed the second SSTV when my SDR timed out. 

0126:  Signoff

Nice show!  I like swing music and believe that pirate radio should be more than 70's rock and foul language.
