At 0158 heard the interval signal and station ID.  Great S9+10 signal with minimal QRN on the Cape Cod KiwiSDR.  Yeah, I'm experimenting with different SDR's tonight.

I have it with a good signal.  Thank you for the show.  I wonder if this is a new show after test release 2/15.
Yes, it is the same as 2/15 with Bad Finger.
0213 Just ID.  Signal is much better now not running 10 Watts.
