Just caught the last min. or so. Heard the announcer mention that he was going to check HFU for reports. Also heard the IDs & that he was using "low power, 25 watts." Very good signal here, but the audio was overmodulated. I thought the ID sounded like KATH, but I might be wrong because of the overmod. Also, I wasn't able to get it recorded.

Thanks for the show!
