Using the Smolinski kiwi SDR because I'm disconnected at my home QTH, fair signal. "Let's Lynch the Landlord" DK's. Though it doesn't sound like the LP version to me? Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me.
0002 Something spoken word, much stronger signal now.
0007 "Mickey Mouse is Dead" Subhumans (NOW you're talking!)
0010 English hardcore song
0013 various spoken word, pretty sure I heard something about a "Clorox cowboy."
0014 punk song
0017 "Sick Boy" GBH
0020 English punk song.... this one I feel like I should know (of course, it's "Punks Not Dead" The Exploited)
0022 "Oi! Oi! Oi!" Cockney Rejects

Hey unidentified op, this is quite the walkthrough of English early 80s punk. How about something from Discharge?

0025 OM, "that ain't loud enough" "Clorox Cowboy" "give me more treble" "crystal microphone" looped
0026 different OM giving list of frequencies on SW the way SWBC stations do at the end of broadcast.
0027 apparently off

Not audible via here at my QTH or farther east at the Northern Utah SDR, so I'm listening via NA5B SDR near D.C.

0001 UTC: Some kind of sound collage about number of time zones in the USSR.
0004 UTC: Audio adventure continues with snippets of speaking mixed together with radio noises.
0005 UTC: Talking about suffering for art, telephone calls, etc.
0007 UTC: "Mickey Mouse is Dead" by Subhumans.
0010 UTC: "All Systems Fail" by the Varukers.
0012 UTC: Back to audio collage chaos.
0014 UTC: "Bite the Bullet" by Lower Class Brats.
0017 UTC: "Sick Boy" by G.B.H.
0020 UTC: "Punk's Not Dead" by The Exploited.
0021 UTC: "Oi! Oi! Oi!" by Cockney Rejects. Signal's getting noisy now.
0025 UTC: "Give me more treble!" And more "Clorox cowboy" mentions in another audio collage.
0026 UTC: Off?

Thanks for the music! A Stiff Little Fingers song would be good next time!

SINPO=23222.

023- Punk sounding song with OMs singing, and refrain is "Oi Oi Oi!"
025- Audio effects/music clips then OM speaking. Heard numbers (khz?) but can't really copy due to QRN and local T-Storms.

Interesting playlist according to those who caught this transmission and could hear it, per other posts I'm taking a look at. Maybe Vyvyan from The Young Ones fired up his transmitter? Hope to catch you more clearly next time. Thanks for the broadcast.

Someone else (?) came on just after this broadcast ended around 026, and from about 028-032 broadcast in AM. Heard a couple of rock tunes sung by OM but couldn't ID them.

0019  Oi! Oi! Oi! - Cockney Rejects -
0026  sounds like various station ID's and music snippets - weaker against noise floor than the above
0027  off the air

Listening back on my recording from last night at 2339 UTC, an OM said "?? ??...now it's time for the Clorox Cowboy". Here's a link to that few seconds....can anyone make out the whole statement?
