Big Scorpions fan here - Saw them many times throughout the eighties. Most recently with a small triple bill
in Chicago along with Deep Purple and Ronnie James Dio. My mistake was not seeing the farewell concert when they came through. Lots of good memories though.

Fortunately, Davy's family will always be able to count on those royalty checks from Axl Rose. When you rip off the dance, you gotta pay  .

Nice strong signal here tonight - sign-on around 0220z.

Chis Issack - Wicked Game
Jimmy Buffett - Pirate Looks at 40
Thanks for the shout - a great signal still
0340z - Dr. B. back on SW and enjoying the spontaneity of live radio    Solid S9.

1720 MW
0310z - I hear you on 1720 Dr. B.. Clear ID - very noisy - then into a song at 0311z - Shinedown's 45 (the guy's got great pipes).
Dr. B. has the distinction of being the first pirate I heard on SW in 2007 and now MW here recently and tonight.
0330z - You were faded down low before 0328z, now improved back up - opposite of DB.  
0335z - Thanks for the shout about SW and MW. I'm going to send a report for MW.

Audio:
First 20 seconds are SW shoutouts to this board, then into MW.

Signal seems to be improving somewhat. Heard male/female ops talking about Neil Young right around
0000z.
