I have it with a fair but noisy signal.   Playing Bad Finger.  Thanks for the show.
2311 Bad Company with song Bad Company.  Maybe the theme tonight is Bad.
2315 Meat Loaf song Two out of three Ain't Bad.
2318 Bad Fade here almost gone.

Oops!  That was supposed to be into the dummy load, just prerecording the show (which goes through the entire TX chain, without the 2500W amp) so we know exactly how it will sound on air.  Well, that's what 10 Watts AM from the exciter can do, a special look behind the scenes.  Full show and full power tomorrow.  Keep the theme secret!  :)  No reports will be replied to until tomorrow.
