Had been below the noise here until 0217 when it suddenly rose to S7.  Still occasional fades.
0321 - "Hole In The Wall" by Mel Waiters
0325 - deep fades to barely audible with occasional peaks to S7.

Listening in since about 0310. Music mostly below the noise floor, but occasional peaks that would make the signal SIO 333 if they were sustained.

Thanks for the show!
