Signal keeps improving. Currently, the music is just barely there, but it's clear. The waterfall has improved and keeps getting louder. Sounds like banjo music at the moment. Thanks for the show. It's a nice pirate radio signal. ;D

You ought to play Mojo Nixon's "Chicken Drop." If you don't know what a "Chicken Drop" is, the song is fairly self explanatory.
