Pirate Broadcasting System on 6935 with Tom Petty, then an ID and talk about turkey, then into Coldplay. Huge S9+20 signal. Another ID at 1518, mention of equipment being repaired, then into Steely Dan.

 Steely Dan SUCKS! Unless its like 1978. Last I checked it's the future. Put away your bell bottoms. Oh and you're S9 with big fades every so often. Audio sounds...well, like my audio. Commercials? WTF?

S9+20, playing Dave Matthews at 1532z.  Audio seems a bit distorted, particularly on voice announcements.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks!
