Figured out the ID and knew it was WREC's jingles and parody commercials. Very good signal showing S8 and sounding clear. Thanks for another great show.

Tuned in at 2344utc, barely hear anything, just occasional bits of audio.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
