320- Bram on the mic, but copy is tough.

347- Instrumental music, then Bran IDs, followed by more instrumental music.
348- Bram talking over music.
349- "Trista Pena" by The Gipsy Kings.
351- Bram IDs last song and station, and says if you're a QSL whore, then send to mail drop address (you can't get a luckier zip code than that).
SINPO=34222 now
400- Bram still on the mic, with some interstitial music between comments. Mailbag segment.

I guess we have to let mother nature have her way. It was just steady static crashes. Need a lot of transmitter power to overcome the noise.

Yep. This is about as bad I've heard summer conditions since '02. However, two fools got out that summer with low power Grenade's sending a number code to each other. They were a strange pair.
Propagation is an odd thing. You've got to know when to go on the air and when to shut down.

Indeed you do ... although one's man in the skip zone is another's S9 reception!
