Loud (S8), with "Take Skinheads Bowling", ID, Tom Petty's "Learning To Fly".  Audio cut out at 2238 before song ended.  After a few seconds of silence, into "So Far Away" by Dire Straits.  Again, song ended abruptly before finishing, the "Money for Nothing" intro, the  abruptly switched to "Walk Of Life" by Dire Straits, which again ended abruptly well before song finished.  Into UNID dance song, which - you guessed it - ended abruptly after only a short while.  "Glory Days" by Springsteen, abrupt switch, "I'm On Fire" by Bruce, another switch, into UNID dance music.  Abruptly to open carrier at 2147, then after a false start or two, into "Harlem Shake".

Booming in to N. Alabama at 0226 w/ Hip-Hop music, then "Mistress At Christmas" by AC/DC, 3 IDs w/ Hotmail address at 0237.  Bing & Andrews Sisters "Winter Wonderland", then began switching songs rapidly from the Andrews Sisters to Cake to Bing to Buck Cherry, Union Underground, and more.  Keeps cutting songs short, and abruptly switching, with very little continuity.  But, there are frequent IDs, and still a great signal at 0305.

Great signal with no fading or drift.

Just wanted to let Clever Name Radio know that your signal this evening was pounding into my QTH in N. Alabama, for the duration of the show. 

Audio quality was great, as well !

Loud here in N. Alabama.  Tuned in at 2328 UTC to hear "It's Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown & his band.  Followed by "Dragula by Rob Zombie and "Man In the Box by Alice In Chains.  SSTV followed at 2338.  Unfortunately, I don't have my SSTV software working yet. Oldies song "I Don't Like You, But I Love You", more SSTV.  Into Bluegrass version of "Back In Black" (Hayseed Dixie ?).  UNID Industrial Metal song at 2349.  UNID cover version of "Hey Joe", as well - maybe a Live Hendrix version ??

SSTV again at 0004 UTC on 11-4-17 UTC

Looks like this is Pee-Wee Radio.  Haven't had the pleasure of a QSL from the many excellent shows I have reported thus far, but will keep fingers crossed that this is the time.

S-9 here in N. Alabama.  Halloween-y sound effects and music.  Only one I could ID was "Spooky' (sounded like a cover version), followed by a Discover Card ad, and seemingly off at 2332.  ID sounded more like "Creepy" Radio Shortwave, rather than "Crazy" Radio Shortwave
