1806- hearing bits of very weak audio from this UNID that has been just an open carrier since early this morning
1812- possibly music now S3-4 but audio is very weak
1824- signal jumped up to S7-8 and hearing definite audio now!
1826- various sound effects into hard rock music
1827- song by Tool "Aenema"
1833- another Tool song "Sober"
1838- "Schism" Tool S9 now and sounding great!
1845- YL "You are listening to ?? at 25 watts" into circus sounding music {Thanks to Chris Lobdell for the ID!}
1848- "Jimmy" Tool
1852- "Disposition" Tool
1910- "Triad" Tool
1915- "Eon Blue Apocalypse" Tool S9+ now
1923- audio from THX 1138 movie I guess and then clear YL ID "You are listening to THX 1138 at 25 watts" THX 1138 was in OM voice
1925- "Disgustipated" Tool

About S8 here 1834

ID'd as "THX1138 - 25 watts" at 1838 UTC.  [named after the George Lucas movie, I'm assuming?]

Great show and great audio! Thanks!!!

Very well modulated AM audio.

S8 here since 1831 UTC, strong enough to overcome a local S7 noise level here, with alt rock tunes.
1845 UTC OM?, into some unusual organ music intro? to another alt rock tune (This one is coming in loud enough to ID as Tool....If it weren't for the 3 rooftop solar power installations in my immediate neighborhood, this signal would be loud and clear!)
1852 UTC Different alt rock tune
{THX1138....I remember a 70's Sci Fi movie by this name....time for a google search!}
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066434/
1915 UTC Still at or above the S7 noise level here
1923 UTC Heard the ID that time above the noise...hard to tell, but sounded like OM then YL?
1929 UTC S9 here now and I'm hearing some kind of sound effects at the moment
1931 UTC ID by YL..."You are listening to"...and OM..."THX1138"...YL..."at 25 watts", into some kind of spoken word thing, then ID repeated at 1932 and OFF

Thanks for the entertainment on this rainy Saturday afternoon THX1138!

Peaking to S9 but weak audio  -lots of static here to overcome

1842 - music
1845 - (YL said) "You are listening to" but the followup sounded like a males voice that was much too weak to understand
1845 - music
1915 - signal building, now peaking S9+10 - 53344
1922 - audio clip from movie THX 1138
1923 - ID, loud and clear YL announcement. The actual "THX 1138" was a clip from the movie with a male's voice.
1925 - music
1930 - ID, same as before
1931 - ID
1932 - off air

Great to hear a new pirate - thanks for the show!
