OMG, a HUGE signal into Masset tonight at 02:23 tune in and B Side Radio ID and into Jazz piece.  I've NEVER heard such a strong signal from a pirate.  S9 + 10 with a really wide bandwidth of about +/- 15 kHz!  Superb audio!
Extension with George Braith
Next song announced at 02:29, Sonny Rollins  Someday I'll Find You (1958),  and a good night to everyone from the DJ.
Song concluded.  OC and transmitter cut at 02:34:49 UTC.  S9 + 20 at that point.  Wow!!!   Thanks, and hope to hear you again!
Please QSL!!!  B Side Radio is a first for me!  73,  Walt

Glad you got to hear it, Walt. It was going long in the eastern half of the continent towards the end, it was very faint for the last 2 or 3 tunes. Possibly the best pirate broadcast I've ever heard.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

Jazz and early Hip-Hop when you include Gil Scott Heron who helped to pioneer Hip-Hop in the mid 70's. Gil floated in and out of Jazz and rap in this period. He was far more sophisticated than Slick Rick and Curtis Blow.

I remember seeing the video for "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", on cable access TV, long before MTV existed. Martha Quinn was still in diapers.
