Listening via the SDR in Traverse City, Michigan, which is receiving a great S9+ signal with very good, strong audio that's staying well above all the noise ...

2057 UTC: "The Sentinel" by Judas Priest.
2100 UTC: "Never Satisfied" by Judas Priest.
2105 UTC: "Never Satisfied" by Judas Priest played again.
2109 UTC: "Never Satisfied" again.
2113 UTC: The male host said something quick as he changed songs and started a new one. Then he stopped the song and apologized for the repeated song. He then gave an ID and talked a little about 9/11.
2115 UTC: "Deceiver" by Judas Priest.
2118 UTC: "Tyrant" by Judas Priest.

Thanks for the music this evening!
