I actually heard this one clearly!  I was north visiting family, so clear of my usual big city QTH.  I flipped to the pirate band and boom!  Caught just a hint of bluegrass-type music, then more spacey instrumentals and synthesized YL talk.  At least one clear Blue Ocean Radio ID in there, though it was hard to tune the signal in properly, frequency-wise.  I kept being a smidgeon off.  SIO 323-333 anyhow. 

Thanks BOR!  I think I'll QSL you properly for this one.  I've never heard you this clearly!
