Nice way to start my evening hearing Paul Starr playing music. Fighting a lot of noise right now but enjoyable none the less.

About an S8 here, rough reception due to a bit of static from the t-storms.

Nice to hear Paul Starr and MAC Shortwave again.

Update, better signal by 2022z, S9+ now.

Just caught the end of this at 2043 UTC with a man singing a song "I'd Like to be a Pirate", into military band version of Star Spangled Banner at 2045, then some Woody Woodpecker type laughing. Hope this is rebroadcast later! A rocking S9 signal here....

Cool! Good to see them back on the air.

Did Ultraman get some mic time?
