RTN, 6040 AM, 0130, 11/9/13.  Just enough to tell there is a station there with some music. 

Poor.

Sorry I can't hear you better RTN.

S4, S3 noise.  "The Stroke" @ 0135.  Audio seems low.  Lots of short fades.
"Oye Como Va" @ 0142
Caught a clear ID @ 0149.  Thanks for the show!

Still sounding good  0326 with "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer.  Good audio, thumping bass too.
Off @ 0406z
