SINPO=34333 (nice clear audio here).

1631- OM with Kiwi accent covering activities going on around the Radio Hauraki ship, including welding, hoisting the antenna mast, etc. Now Interviewing workers. Now talking about the "ancient looking engine." Discussing how each of the folks got involved in Radio Hauraki, their backgrounds, etc. Goes from the decks down to the engine room.
1637- OM in studio closes out segment. "Do these people sound like YOU to be pirates?" Continues with explanatory background about Radio Hauraki, as alternative to NZBC, over music. Doing what they think it right... You don't get it by sitting back. Broadcasting from international waters...Does this sound like pirate broadcasting?
1640- "The Times They Are a Changin'" by The Seekers.
1641- "Freedom's Star" by The Serendipity Singers.
1642- "Born Free" by Matt Monro.
1643- OM IDs Radio Haukaki.
1643- 60s pop tune with OM, couldn't ID.
1644- OM IDs Radio Hauraki.
1644- "Exodus" by Connies Francis.
1644- OM briefly.
1644- "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles.
1645- "Tell your friends, there's a happy new sound in the air" by OM announcer.

Thanks for the relay!
