« on: October 16, 2024, 0100 UTC »

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!
