Someone warming up. "Hello Radio, hello world". "Is there anybody out there?". "I have no idea if this this thing is working or not". Good audio. S9 here.

I think I am hearing some faint music now. Not nearly the signal of the OM announcing.

"Well the music is not working worth a damn......New fangled technology"

Just ID Dr. Benway Undercover Radio

Skyping into remote transmitter.

Audio is good. The music was barely audible. Audio is fading a little now.

Great to hear ya Doc, hope you get it sorted out tonight.  I'm also hearing weak rap music underneath.

0202: Doc Benway "I'm Skyped into a remote transmitter!", signal bouncing between S5-S7 on peaks, audio slightly thin but very clear.

Signal is an easy S6 here, weak but copyable

Heard an "oh shit" at 0201, and assorted crabbing about technology
Chime @ 0204

=== Hope you get it ironed out Dr Benway!! ===

Rap type music heard starting at 0132.
Benway first heard at 0147 with some hello radios. I still hear the rap type music, so that could be another station?
Benway still talking at 0204, then into some music and a skit. Not a great signal here.
off at 0208?
