Good signal, though with some fading, via NA5B SDR in D.C. ...

2113 UTC: "Any Way You Want It" by the Ramones
2114 UTC: "Chinese Rocks," also by the Ramones
2116 UTC: Radio Free Ramones ID and email address announced as radiofreeramones@gmail.com
2117 UTC: "Somebody Put Something in my Drink" by, of course, the Ramones
2120 UTC: Email address and ID again by male, then "Rock 'n' Roll Radio" by you-know-who
2123 UTC: Email addy announcement, ID again and then "Love Kills"
2126 UTC: "Sheena is a Punk Rocker" after ID announcement again: "You are listening to Radio Free Ramones." Just checked again and I can't hear this one way out here near Seattle, but it's audible via the Northern Utah SDR.
2128 UTC: "All Ramones, all the time on Radio Free Ramones" ID played during the song.
2129 UTC: "53rd & Third"
2131 UTC: "All Ramones, all the time" ID and then "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue"
2133 UTC: "Pinhead"
2136 UTC: ID twice, then "Commando," followed by "You Should Never Have Opened that Door"
2139 UTC: "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World"

As a longtime fan who got to see the Ramones play live, this is a pirate with a playlist I can fully support!
