At 0122Z, I'm finding a bare trace of the carrier on the waterfall, but nothing sounding like a signal. 

Using the Pittsburgh KiwiSDR.

This music is a nice alternative to the classic rock that usually shows up in pirate radio!

Came to this party very late!  Solid S6 signal on the Pittsburgh KiwiSDR.  Loud and clear and without background noise.  Sounds like the OM is getting ready to end today's marathon transmission.

Came on at00:55 --  OM gave a short rant about "Live radio is always better" followed by "I think I love you" and "Good Morning Sunshine".

Sounded like he was playing around with playback speed on his turntable...

Clear S4 on the Pittsburgh KiwiSDR.

Maybe he can play some Steeleye Dan?

It's Radio Free Tralfamadore, and they're reading from "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut.  Billy Pilgrim is the lead character of that book.
