SIO 444, slightest QSB, otherwise very nice here.

2204 - OM anncr speaking, ID, into another song. 454
2209 - SIO 445, sounding great, "Duka(?) Cola" commercial spot into more mx
2228 - ID into more cool mx (what Clash song is that lifted from?!)
2247 - QRM? Sounds like something underneath/nextdoor.
          Really like the music selections. Not familiar with anything yet but it's really cool. SIO 444


Thanks, WTF Radio!
