0142z: I've got something on 1710am but the noise is terrible here tonight.  It's tough to tell if it's one of the usual suspects or something different.  Sounds like high energy dance music through the static crashes right now, lots of thump thump thump...

0158z: Music continues with rock song now, maybe from the 1980s, though I can't place it through the noise.  Come to think of it, I'm probably tuned into W807 Chicago.

0204z: Bingo, "W-8-0-7" ID, and back into the rock tunes.  Time to move on...

Ah guess what kilo? After a while of staying on 1710, I just might've caught W807. I had EDM (electronic dance music) on 1710 as well and wayyy in there I believe I heard the W807 ID. Wow!! They were getting out far last night. Now it's still not for sure yet, but I think I really did hear W807.
