Tuned in at 02:21. My first time hearing Stern Radio. Amazing death metal/psychedelic.

Station ID heard at 02:37- male voice "This is Station Stern Radio, this is Station Stern Radio."

I don't know any of the songs but will email the Station with some lyrics I heard in hopes of earning a QSL.

SINPO 45333. I had the magic wand antenna on and off, sometimes it helped.

Thank you for the show! I loved it and want more.

Only fair reception here in SW Ohio, maybe due to thunderstorms?  I did catch Only Time at 0:19, ID at 0:23, Eddie Money "Shakin" at 0:28 followed by commentary.  I could hear other songs but I did not know them which doesn't usually happen with VSky. 

SINPO 43222

Tecsun PL-680, telescoping antenna.  Noise increased when I attached the magic wand antenna.

No QSL for me but good to hear V Sky again.
