S8, good audio and good copy@ 0009 with "Pearl".  Some barber-poling on the waterfall but hopefully the band holds up.
0010 - "I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)" by The Dead Weather.
0028 - starting to get some fades
0030 - signing off

Thanks for the show!

RFW with a great signal here at 0013
0015 DJ DW and Stavin hoping for the day when they can show tits on the radio (no theirs, of course)
0023 SSTV just came on co-channel


I wonder what the image is.

0029 "Until next time, do whatever" and off

Thank you for the show guys!

Heard here on the SDR recording, about an SIO 222.

The band closes early, Comrade.

Here's the offending SSTV image:
