Listening via the SDR in Fork Union, Virginia, which has an S7ish signal and fair to pretty good audio amid the noise tonight ...

0256 UTC: "Skateaway" by Dire Straits.
0303 UTC: Usual female-voiced host talking about the music and setting up the next song.
0304 UTC: "Tunnel of Love" by Dire Straits.

Off to a late dinner; thanks for the tunes tonight, Dire Straits Radio!
