WFAR Freaking Awesome Radio 6925 AM 0252z 6/29/2013
« on: June 29, 2013, 0253 UTC »
S8-S9 AM carrier tuning up at 0252z and into new-age song.  Seems to be some long pauses between songs containing very low audio, talk and possible ID, but audio too low to comprehend.  Musical tracks are coming through decent though.  Definite female robo IDs given at 0312:  "..... Radio", but tough over the static.  Abruptly off during Frampton at 0317z.

0253 Opening with nice mellow track
0258 "Beast of Burden"
0312 Sounded like YL or robo YL talk - low level and not able to understand it, followed by "Do You Feel Like I Do?"
0317 off

S7-S8 here initially, but really fading fast now at 0315 to near floor.  Thanks!
