Tuned in at 0225utc, weak sig with throbbing FM of carrier but punk rock in AM. Not the usual programming on this freq. (edit) Switched from Drake R8 to Panasonic  RF-4900, sig still has throbbing freq modulation, stn playing heavy metal now (dazed and confused), sig fading in and out. (2nd edit) storms approaching, must shut down, sorry.

Talking about music
Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin

More talking. Too noisy to make out what he's saying.
Astronomy Domine by Pink Floyd
World of Pain by Cream
Third Stone from the Sun by Jimi Hendrix
Lost it in the noise :(
Great playlist!

S9 with light, quick fades @ 0248 with "Water"
OM introducing a Pink Floyd song and ID'd as '87.9 Newport Pirate Radio', and into live version of Astronomy Domine.
Newport Pirate Radio has a live stream, so someone may be playing that..?
0311 - "We'll Burn the Sky" by The Scorpions [nice!]
0320 - "Symptom of the Universe" by Black Sabbath [another great tune!] followed by 'Newport Pirate Radio' ID
