Playing what sounds like Tom Petty.

Some distortion in the audio but still sounds much better than a SSB
pirate playing music.

No ID yet.


I didn't give a listen, but that seems to be where The Crystal Ship operates
these days.

I never got an ID. The signal faded really fast. It was 15-20 over s9 &
then 5 minutes later only a weak het. I suppose that is the way
propagation goes. The QSB should have been a clue that it was getting
ready to be weaker.

I thought they were at 7.415. Maybe a dial error?
