Only time will tell by Asia hearing The Poet with The Crystal Ship today at 22:33UTC with a good signal here in South Carolina some fading but a  decent signal with plus 9 on the meter! Looking forward to the show! I am hearing Heartbreak Hotel with a son that sounds like Foreigner signal has dropped some with the peskies

Had to run out and was recording; only 3 minutes of useful audio before it crashed to the floor here.

Sucks for me; now I'm manic-depressive!

Catching The Crystal Ship here doing their "Heartbreak Hotel" with ID at 2242, 2256 and 2331. Songs by Def Leppard, 38 Special, Bruce Springsteen, Rainbow, Honeymoon Suite, Poppy Family, Roxette and Nazareth. Crazy ad for ebeastiality.com and a total disregard for the FCC at 2332. Thanks for the show JP and Relayer! ;D
