At 2205:  Lots of noise and not too much signal in Wyomissing.  Heard two POBox addresses, but could not understand what was said.

Currently a male vocal that I don't recognize.

I had a real "WTH" moment when I saw the call letters in the post title? Then I saw "relay". Damned bifocals!

I had to listen to the ID several times to make sure I wasn't hearing things. The announced 2,500 watts probably helps roughly date when the recording was made.
