"Doctor My Eyes" playing at tune-in, S8 and slightly over-modulated (Or maybe the carrier is being suppressed some).
0052 - "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"
0053 - ID
0055 - off suddenly
0057 - back on, seems to be restarting the program, a bit of "Doctor My Eyes" and then into "50 Ways"
0101 - ID
0102 - "It Don't Come Easy"
0110 - "Get Together"
0116 - S5 to S8, "Slip Sliding Away"
0126 - S9 and occasional light fades, "Band On The Run"
0137 - off

Thanks for the show!

Old time Captain Morgan Shortwave is back on the air with a flamethrowing, antenna melting signal. Thanks Captain for the awesome pirate radio broadcast. You're the man!

Greetings,
Signal is S9+23 here near Washington DC, I could go 6k wide and audio still has punch. Very minor fades no qrm, minor hashing in my area.
Always a classic playlist, very much needed. Starting to dip to S9+13 here now at 0112 UTC. I'm just on the outside of greyline, fwiw.
sdr with horizontal loop antenna, 20 feet up, 250 feet all around. wellbroke loop for amdx and tropdx, very very lucky reception.

SDR recording catch. Heard from 0047 Sign on, with a very strong signal, S9+25 at times!   The audio may have been slightly overdriven at first, but very good the rest of the broadcast.
