« on: March 09, 2010, 2332 UTC »

Playing non-stop Devo tunes since about 2310z.  No ID heard as of 2330.  Signal about S9 with some occasional fading.  Very nice audio!  I had to leave before the end of the broadcast, but caught what might have been an ID on the recorder.  Can anybody make anything of this?
