VG/excellent signal at 2319. Recording on the R8 & listening on the Philco 16X by the fire. Great to hear again!
at about 2326, OM DJ mentioned having snow shovels ready. Played Sly & Family Stone, then Depeche Mode.
As Jack Roberts said, it's nice to hear some live DJ patter. DJ talking for a while at 2336. Had to retune the not-so-stable 16X, but heard him mention it
