0345  'F2020' - Avenue Beat starts immediately after Ballsmacker ends, 0349 carrier drops.

S7.  Good signal.  Almost sounds like it was on the same transmitter as Ballsmacker.

It was on both frequencies...  Our annual New Year's show "Easter Egg" (our 5th year of doing it after the end of the regular New Year show).  Good catch!!!  Nothing slips passed y'all!  Let's have a great 2025!
