On into unidentified mellow tune, S6 with some fades.
2308 - ID by OM, fades getting worse and band may go long for me.

Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

SDR recording playback catch. Signed on just a few seconds prior to 2306. Generally poor with a few fair peaks, but I appreciate what I can get. Thanks for the broadcast!

2323 WTF ID heard clearly. Also, thanks for playing Alvvays.
2336 I had trace audio of music up until this time. Presumed QRT but possibly just faded out.
