0124 S8 with fading. Audio is rough at times due to heavy static crashes.

Not paying close attention, just listening while doing other things, but I heard at ID for WDEF five or ten minutes before 0133.

0135 A bit over S9 on the vertical and well above the local static crashes. Audio seems a bit bassy, although it could be the particular song.
