Good into GA, running S8 here. Female singer 0025 UTC

Talk break at 0027. A bit tough to copy---mic audio seems a little muffled. Into Fleetwood Mac

Another talk break at 0041, still could not get much out of the break, muffled. then into Frank Sinatra. Off mid song 0044.

Thanks for the broadcast!

Very fady here.  Came up nicely during 'You Make Loving Fun' but then went back down to just above the noise.
Starting to come back up some now with a Jethro Tull song.
Announcer audio has no mid-range or is muffled, but music sounds decent.
After some technical difficulties, they came back up nicely at around 0058z with old-time-radio type program.
Into 'Bungle in the Jungle' at 0110 then a deep fade.

10 dB over S9 in Wyomissing.

Music seems distorted, while voice did not.

Abrupt end to BC at 0044 in mid-Sinatra song

Went back and reviewed the audio, and it sounds as if the op IDed himself as "John de la Verte", which is in line with what Beerus heard here:
