Speech by FDR and maybe other people. Someone speaking about the country, etc. Signal is about S8. Thanks for the broadcast if there is a station ID.

22:50 FDR speech

S4 - S5 on the Vermont Mountaintop SDR, competing with a lot of noise and some nearby peskies.
22:58 cleared up considerably and now is very clear with S4 - S8

WFDR-2249 with FDR speech. At 2309, speech suddenly ending or cut, then OM with "W-F-D-R" (in FDR's voice, I think) and "Goodnight!" Then off.  Signals 232 at best in central NY state.
