S9 signal. This is perhaps the strongest signal I have ever had from Radio Ga Ga.

Seemed to come on in the middle of "Blowin' In the Wind" at 2318.  ID at 2322 "Radio GaGa, live from Zipper Lake."
Nice selection of Dylan, massive S9+10 here.  Closing ann and off at 2343.

Thanks RGG!

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 322-323

Signal ranged from just hovering above the static to decent copy at times with fading conditions.  Same details as others.

Audio(23:17z-23:43z): http://www.archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadioCont/RadioGa-ga6925Usb2317z-2343z01-14-12.mp3

Thanks RG :)
