I'm assuming this is Boston Pirate Radio that I saw listed as one of the five stations involved in this broadcast, since the frequency matches what was said they would be operating on. I have then peaking at S7 here, while listening to the other 4 stations at the same time. Sounds very cool to have 5 radios going at once to be able to put it all together, since each station is transmitting a slightly different piece of the entire work. The other stations are WBCQ on 5130, WRMI on 11580, and Shortwaveservice on 9620 from Moosbrunn, Austria and 9690 from Nauen, Germany.
