Hearing R. Garbanzo  faintly on 6925 USB @ 0255  (09/08). Copy a bit difficult at the moment. Hoping for some reception improvement.   Clear IDs heard @ 0307 & 0317.  Difficult to hear any details due to noise levels. Probale s/off @ 0320 with laughing man. Been a long time since I have heard Fearless Fred.
