Recording them (audio, not DDC); fair to good here in SW Idaho; tuned in @0036 with positive ID @0039; SIO: 343-353 with signals S5-6; tuned in ECSS; signals peaking to S7 with excellent copy @0122.

Getting bits of music @ 0237, but too many static crashes from the midwest to enjoy it.

First heard R. True North at 0035 ("I Love Rock N' Roll"); ID & email address at 0039.
0228 said he was "going live." Still on at my last check at 0324. Mostly fair.
