0235z Station down in the noise playing Dylan, aout S3-4 into NH with S8-S9 noise peaks.

Thanks Poet, was hearing the Dylan tunes and the op giving his ID and gmail address but was too far down in the noise to pull it through.



0242z ID and gmail address (no copy) into "Positively 4th Street"
0247z "Watching the River Flow"
0250z OK - Got the "Rave On Radio" ID on a good fade up that time, into "Knocking on Heaven's Door"
0253z "Rave On Radio broadcasting from the studio in the woods", I can only pull through about 25% of the op's comments.
0256z raveonradio@gmail.com I think...
0300z Off

Thanks for the effort...
