Thank for the QSL Joe! Graphics are truly poignant and a great song that has been covered by hundreds of artists over the years. Looking forward to another "installment" of Hey Joe Radio somewheres down the road.  How about the Deep Purple version next time out?

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Unid on 6.935U at 0340U

Thanks for the info Chris L! I hope they play some more of these programs in the future! Superbly produced and great entertainment. I checked out the North American Pirate Hall of Fame and read the article just now and I guess I missed out on some great pirate programming during my 24 years away from shortwave listening....I wonder if Alan Maxwell is still around?

Tuned into this after I had shut off my PC for the night! S9 at 0408 UTC with great audio. A story with background music about a Dr. Peters and a glowing polyhedron...stream of consciousness..."black vault of the cosmos...immortal...needed no nourishment" Basically a story about the Energy beings of pure force and one of them created life in their laboratory and it escaped into the galaxy..."Leprous with the disease of life"...the Force beings spun off the outer part of the galaxy to escape the Life, but imprisoned the one who created it in a polyhedron of frozen force for eternity. Of course, Dr. Peters (I think!) opened it up and it was free once again, but not before creating a temporary glitch on earth, blotting out the sun for awhile, etc. Man announcer mentioned "Voyage of the Illuminati" by Alan Maxwell at the end of the program and that correspondence was welcome to PO Box 69 Elcorn, NE 68022. Off at 0431 UTC.
(I was dead tired while listening to this, but couldn't go to sleep until I heard the whole thing! Fascinating work of the imagination..wonder if that PO Box is still working? Thanks to whoever broadcast this program!!!)

Been listening since 0309 UTC and signal is at threshold level with brief moments of music...can't make out a thing though. Maybe a Euro?

0331 UTC I hear people talking and laughing now, but nada on the copy
(Can't stay awake any longer...maybe somebody can ID this? Another mystery!)
0338 UTC Signal up again...UNID folk tune with harmony vocals
Calling it quits...another acoustic folk tune at 0044 UTC with guitar and harmony vocals. Thanks for the show tonight whoever you are!
