The same here. The sync AM can lock onto it, but that's all.

Here, too, with a weak signal. Bits of audio popping up around 0030. I could tell it was a comedy, but not much more. Maybe if I'd hung with it longer, I'd be able to figure out what show was playing. Too bad the signal isn't better, but it's nice to see OTR on for a few hours at a time again
