SIO 444 S-7/9

Noisy (QRN) here, but strong.
Just hooked the SDR back up and happy to here ION!

2055 - ELO's Turn to Stone. Nice!
2100 - "Ten Years Gone" Very cool. Wavy QRN picking up, dammit.
2105 - ION Radio ID by YL into Zappa? I think.

Thanks, ION Radio! Such a nice catch is a great welcome back.
