Essentially good signal, but some deep fades noted.  20 year retrospective show.

Great signal from Doctor Benway in NH this evening, mostly hanging around S9 and sounding good.

This was a nice collection of old broadcast clips celebrating "the tenth anniversary of the return of Undercover Radio".

Keep up the good work Doctor and have a happy 2013.
