QSL from Radio Strange – Outpost No. 7 (click to enlarge)<\/p><\/div>\n

Saturday night, after listening to some Voice of Greece Jazz<\/a>, I happened upon Radio Strange – Outpost No. 7. This pirate deserves some recognition for the station’s homage to retro 8-bit & spacey sounds. I couldn’t tell if I was listening to an NES<\/a> game soundtrack or an episode of Lost In Space<\/a>. There’s even a Beatles song thrown in the mix…with a twist. Good fun.<\/p>\n

Here’s the recording<\/a> I made of the full 16 minute broadcast on 6925 kHz at approx. 00:15 UTC on Saturday, April 21:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/SwlingPostRecordingRadioStrangeOutpost721April2012\/RadioStrangeOutpost704232012.MP3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
