Woke up and turned on the radio to hear the last minute of Hall and Oats "You Make My Dreams". He IDed, said he was testing mobile and signed off.
SIO 333, for the 90 seconds I heard.
Not sure of the mode, the radio was in USB, but he could have been in AM.

Just got a clear ID here in eastern Mo. at 07:49.
Usually I can detect the carrier, but with no clear audio.
I wonder if the snow on the ground is helping them out.
At 07:52 they are moving the meter to an S-1.
