S9 here with fair audio.  'Head Over Heels' by Tears for Fears @ 0039z, followed by ID.
Getting some interference from pescadores on LSB.

Still S9 @ 0205z, playing 'Rio' by DuranDuran.  Audio better than earlier too.
Thanks for the show!

Not the best copy here with storms rolling in, but audible. Hearing Major Tom at the moment. Brutal static crashes, pescadore interference, and fading. Triple threat! SIO 322

Duran Duran "Rio" ending around 0210 and then DJ Dick Weed with an announcement. Then into Stereo Fuse "Everthing" at 0211. A very nice (and improved) S9+20 signal here in the Boston burbs. Thanks RFW!
