Station came on at 0135z with a bluegrass song, then promptly faded until 0155z when the signal improved
enough to hear David Bowie's "Life on Mars", back into bluegrass at 0156z.
Rave On Radio ID at 0200z
"til the generator runs out of gas" - must've ran out - off after the ID.
Thanks ROR.

General Radio Discussion / Re: R. I. P. PRO-34, #980073, 7A0, "800mhz. PLUS"
« on: August 15, 2012, 0116 UTC »
Sorry to hear. I've got an elderly PRO-34 next to me. It's cranky. When you turn it on, the display light flickers and eventually fades out in sync with the scan rate. It's got tape to hold the battery cover on. When I used to take it to the auto racing track to hear the corner workers, I'd plug it into one of those old Motorola cop car speakers and you could hear it from a good distance.
I bought it for $25 from another guy who took it to the track too. It had an easily fixed problem with the charger connector.
I don't know if it has the "800 plus" mod in it. I don't turn it on often, but it seems to have a pretty good receiver.
It Keeps chugging along though. I'll make sure it doesn't read your post lest it decides to retire too.
