Received the same postal QSL as Chris S, along with an awesome Brain Brothers coffee mug! Thank you for your kind gift Professor Plum! I prefer to use the term "pirate treasure" rather than "swag"!
(This will be my official go to mug for the morning eye opener!)

2123 UTC "My Sharona"-The Knack
2128 UTC "London Calling"-The Clash
2132 UTC "Dance the Night Away"-Van Halen
2350 UTC I've been listening since 2120 UTC and the signal is now up to S9! enjoying the late 70's trip down memory lane while I do what most retirees do....zone out!
2353 UTC "I Feel Love"-Donna Summer (One of about 10 or so disco songs that I actually liked!)
0007 UTC Signal took a nose dive to S3 at the end of "Carry on My Wayward Son"-Kansas
0008 UTC Deep in the noise...the band has gone long for me!
Thank you for the trip down memory lane when the 31 meter band was wall to wall with international broadcasters, as well as the occasional pirate broadcast (ie: Radio Clandestine!)

0057 UTC An OM with a scratchy voice yelling about something, followed by him making siren or animal noises
(Seems to be some music in the background) S7 peaks and above the noise, but the yelling OM is hard to copy
0104 UTC Said something about "when the bombs drop"..."you may think I'm crazy"..."I'm perfectly sane"...something about "mutants" "I Want to survive and this is why I'm here tonight" "These men are men among men...survivors"
0108 UTC A different OM is talking with the doom and gloom guy
0109 UTC OM mentioning a book "Northern Survival"...a manual for surviving a cataclysm for the North" (Sounds like a podcast plugging the book
0112 UTC The screechy guy said "Mutants are disgusting"...talking about a book called "Mutants" A mutants struggle for survival...can't survive side by side"
0116 UTC "If a mutant walked up to your bomb shelter door, what would you do"
0124 UTC A rather odd pop song with the screechy guy singing along (a bit of "Wipeout" in the song)
0127 UTC Different music now, with OM's discussing the cataclysm
Thank you for the mutant apocalyptic vision on this otherwise peaceful evening! LMAO!

0017 UTC Getting some music now
0018 UTC Sounds like a spoken word skit now, but soon to be buried in the noise
