2247 "Secret Agent Man", weak, SIO 222?
2236 Now up to an easy SIO 333, pushing 444.  Great to hear XLR8 again!

2246 weak, barely audible, but sounds like a blues song
0009 seems to be off. I was making and eating dinner, but noted that the signal was a lot better toward the end.
0019 still on, not very strong but sun is setting soon...
0029 sudden fade up, punk song
