2337 utc tune in.  S9, very nice USB audio.  Heavy bassline song.  Dickweed with ID, song title and Dave Matthews request note.  Gee tanx Dick, heard my alter-ego name in the listener rundown.  RFW Shortwave ID (nice echo).  Nice song; wish I knew the name; I gotta quit listening to Sports Radio.  Ditto this one.  Quite an eclectic playlist OM.  Slight fade to S7 now (2358).  ID & s/off @0023.  Tanx alot Dickweed.
