On with chimes and music, I'd Love to Change the World, by Ten Years After.

Pretty tough copy here tonight, just above the noise. S3 on the meter.

A couple of off and ons, then back with more music Shinedown and 45. A good 2 to 3 s units stronger too.

6925 AM SIO 323-434

Decent signal & audio with little to no fade with increased signal strength later in broadcast.

02:29z bells tolling
02:30z 'I'd Love To Save The World' - 10 Years After
02:33z off
02:34z back on with Shinedown's '45'
02:39 off & then back on again with "..failure to communicate.." quote from Cool Hand Luke then off
02:40z sounded like Dr. Benway came on for a second with "...helloooo radio.." after AM station left the air & then bird sounds

Audio (02:29z-02:41z): http://archive.org/download/ShortwaveOddsSodsTransmissions/Unid_pirate6925Am0229z-0241z05-13-12.mp3

Thanks! :)

Came on around S9, audio a bit thin

0230 Clock tower chimes, 10YA - "I'd Love to Change the World"
0234 off/on a couple two tree times
0235 On big with Shinedown - 45; big time sig now at S9+15, much better audio
0239 "What we got here is failure to communicate" and off
0241 On briefly with bird chirp - was this from Radio RSA IS?

I checked an online IS archive, and this does seem to be a very similar, if not the same, bird chirp.  Weird, because I heard that chirp following this show and then expected to hear the familiar "Ver in die Wereld Kitty" song on guitar.

I wish I would have heard the ending of this. I remember that old RSA interval signal and would've liked to have heard it. I also remember the early 90s when that guy would come on 7415 and say nothing but 'Hello, radio!' and then disappear again.
