2323 Tuning in via NE Penn SDR, OM talking about Crystal Ship t-shirts for sale. Let me share the link for that:
https://teespring.com/tcs1#pid=522&cid=101894&sid=front
2324 OM speaking about pirate radio history, into rock song. Faint and Penn SDR seems like it's a bit overloaded, lots of pauses and apparent rebuffering. SIO about 222 there.

Faint carrier detectable in Colorado.

2329 Signal just came up to 333 levels in NE Penn. Autograph "Turn Up The Radio"
2333 Crystal Ship ID into "Been Caught Stealing" Jane's Addiction (hmm, seem to be getting WBCQ audio on the web SDR now)
2337 switched to Jersey Shore web SDR, and I'm getting no audio
2338 Ah, there we go. "Do It Again" Steely Dan
        Signal was S7 on the meter but just took a deep dive, starting to come back. S3.
        Carrier disappeared for a few seconds at 2343, before next song began
2343 "Scare Easy" Mudcrutch
        Signal improving to S5 at 2346. Still listening via Jersey Shore SDR. Still nothing in Denver.
2348 Crystal Ship ID with Tarzan cry, "yadda yadda yadda." Into parody ad, a bit too much fading for me to follow. It finishes with music from Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliette, then into a brief announcement, OM
2351 "Breaking The Chains" Dokken
2355 Crystal Ship ID into "Unchained" Van Halen
        Alleluia! Getting some weak audio on my own equipment now.
2359 The Who "I'm Free"
0001 The Who "Going Mobile"
0005 YL Crystal Ship ID (or OM voice processed to sound high pitched)
0007 The Who "Magic Bus"
0011 "Heavy Metal" Vins

Thanks for the show!
