Playing music that I don't recognize.  Operators chatting in background behind the music, possibly unaware they have an open mic.
Good copy, S5 to S9 and very low noise.
ID @ 1420 and into SSTV (in the painfully slow ScottyDX mode).
CW ID for several minutes and then OM announcer with ID, email and request for reception reports and signing off @ 1438

Tuned in at 1426 UTC to an unusual sounding SSTV already in progress...rather long in duration as it is ended at 1430 UTC, followed by OM and then CW. Signal is S4 here with a low noise floor with some light fading.
1438 UTC OM with ID/email address. Nothing heard after this, so assume QRT

Thanks for the Sunday morning broadcast AR!

Here is the second SSTV image Scottie DX mode. Right now Amphetamine Radio is sending CW.

The CW appears to be the station id and email address over and over  "AMPHETAMINE RADIO AT GMAIL DOT COM AMPHETAMINE RADIO"

SDR recording catch. OM talking while adjusting a rubber band keep his microphone on. Sounded like a YL in the background as well, talking to her about the radio and pirates.
Off at 1310. Very good signal here.

Back on at 1353, same OM and YL. OM cautioned YL not to give away information about who they are :-)
Reading loggings from the HFU.
Talking about SSTV software, short transmission as a test.

Amphetamine Radio ID at 1400.
