Just got home from work and turned on the radio to catch Autograph's "Turn Up the Radio" and ID at 0121, TCS Unchained. Had a few drop outs during Autograph. Signal here is a S9+5 and great audio. Steely Dan at 0125, then Tom Petty. Thanks John and the Relay for the great show this evening, glad I caught it! ;D
