S6 at 2259...then off...on...off...on.  Some fading, some noise, but more than listenable.

2301: Believe that’s the Blackbird Set by the Tannenhill Weavers.
2305: Host ID as Radio Free Ireland
2307: “if you’re radio’s fuses aren’t popping, you're not running enough power”
2308: Harry Manx, Bring that Thing.
