Very good reception, some fades.  tAC, I presume?  Maybe degradation of signal a bit is due to heavy snowfall.  If we get expected 8 inches today, we will be at 40 for season with more coming Tuesday and Friday.  Thanks for broadcast in between Liverpool/City match and Super Bowl this Lock Down, Home Bound, Snowbound, Sunday :D

1819 Music
1823 Reception dropped to about noise floor
1824 Reception back, peaks are outstanding - don't recognize tune
1829 Signal dropped
1830 Music coming through at peaks
1833 Music breaking through noise consistently, sounds like flute music
1834 Reception now very good with light breezy (West Indies?) instrumental
1839 Way down in noise again
1840 Off?
