2218 carrier
2220 music, typical

2229 greetings to me, in French (trying his best), what about "Chante back" ?

2232 talk to me again, but a utitility is now on the side,
ID as Johnny Tobacco, signal fading down quickly

2237 now very weak, Noisy, accordion music
2245 now short skip is very weak and noisy, no way to enjoy the programme, and I won't understand the announcements if any.

North American, give it a try !

2258 carrier, much noise, barely can I hear music and op
