So far it's been non-stop Smashing Pumpkins for about the last 45 minutes or so.  Nice S9+ signal and very nice audio as well.  No IDs so far that I've been able to hear.

Signal dropped like a rock at about 2300, now just barely audible in the S5 noise.

There's been a bunch of these today in honor of Skywarn Recognition Day.  I've heard WX4MLB from Florida on 40 meters and WX4NC on a 2 meter repeater.
