Only around S5 here, but sounding good.

0147 ID, T/C, "We had some technical difficulties but recovered nicely"
0155 was recently ashore in a rented land vehicle - took Spike to the aquarium
0204 faded into the floor
0210 can just barely make out Electric Avenue

Thanks RML!

Only S4 to S5 here, decent audio.  Details as above.  ID @ 0149 and shoutout to Token and hsmith.
Into Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam @ 0151
You must have turned the boat at 0200z, up to S7 now.  Into "Lightning Crashes" @ 0202z
Back down to S4 @ 0220, but nice copy, playing "How Soon is Now?" by The Smiths [nice!]
"Dead Mans Party" @ around 0254, sounding great.
Still decent copy at sign-off just after the top of the hour....

Thanks for the show!  Regards to spike and any other labrats on board.
