Listening via the SDR in Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S9 signal and good audio despite the background noise levels this evening ...

0002 UTC: "Golden Years" by David Bowie.
0004 UTC: "Oh! You Pretty Things" by David Bowie (two great Bowie tunes in a row!).
0007 UTC: Female co-hosts talking about David Bowie, with Dita talking about first hearing Bowie's music. (I've been on a Bowie kick for more than 40 years myself.)
0009 UTC: "The Man Who Sold the World" by David Bowie.
0012 UTC: Co-hosts talking again and moving on to The Sex Pistols with "Pretty Vacant."
0016 UTC: "Problems" by The Sex Pistols.
0020 UTC: "No Feelings" by The Sex Pistols.
0022 UTC: Dita giving ID and the email address and inviting listeners to write in.
0023 UTC: "Train in Vain" by The Clash (Hot take: I LOVE The Clash; they're my favorite band. But this tune, one of the band's most popular songs, is overrated, IMHO).
0026 UTC: Dita with ID again, followed by "Train Kept a Rollin'" by The Yardbirds.
0030 UTC: Instrumental news-like theme into the co-hosts giving the "Radio Free Spirit News." As the first story started, however, the transmitter hiccupped on and off.
0032 UTC: The broadcast came back on in the middle of a news story. That was followed by a report about raccoons being seen near the studio and engaging in suspicious activity.
0034 UTC: End of the news, followed by an ID from Dita. That was followed by "Swamp Thing" by The Chameleons UK.

Thanks for the broadcast and music!
