The Crystal Ship

5385.5 AM 2353-0152+ 4/20-21/08 SIO=343/242-. Prgm of rock with music by The Doors, but over a dozen selections were various classic rock tunes by The Who. During the latter portion of the prgm they had their usual political commentary on issues of the day from a left wing perspective.Announcer's IDs used their usual slogan of the Voice of the Blue States Republic.IDs by a lady announcer had a different slogan of "this is pirate radio." Announced parallel transmitter on 6700 kHz, but 6700 produced little here other than a weak het. Fair to good signal on 5385.5, with some fading down at times.Gave Belfast maildrop address. (G.
