Audio now, starting 1927 or so, but horribly distorted, and a lot of hum.

MAC Shortwave 6850 AM 22:50-00:05 10/19-20/13 SIO 454  Dr Who Show. We didn't sink the Bismark, Jones Boy, Love Potion No 9, You Dont Mess around with Jim, Cannonball . Goodnight Sweetheart played for a “special Listener”. Ask me Why.  Sounded like a live prgm with time codes given out, lamenting that hes eating dinner as he DJs and has no access to the logs to see if the signal is getting out (He is!) Tease of an upcoming live Paul Starr show. Signing off with Good Night Sweetheart, and traditional National Anthem

 off air recording on the FTP site.

At 2328 UTC:  20 dB over S9 in Wyomissing; 55555  What a signal!

Chats about eating, putting 45s on the turntable and mixing the program.  All with a mouth full of food.  Announces the correct time

Thanks for the program,
