S9+2 here, but high QRN, and can't take advantage of apparent good audio...

0023 Carrier on and right into jazzy Also Sprach Zarathustra, some unid music following
0033 B52s - "Channel Z"

Sounds like a repeat of this AM's Channel Z show?

0040 Andy Walker Channel Z ID, "...coming at you from our studio in London..."
0112 Getting some sig peaks to S9+16...sounding great despite the storms!
0137 off

Thanks Z!
Thanks Andy; some interesting tracks!

Noted on at 0023, music to 0030, left the recorder running over supper, still going 0057 with Andy Walker playing 60's tunes,

s3 (at noise level) at tune in, up to s5 now, weak but clear copy

Cheers, Terry

About +10 over 9 in upstate NY w/ great audio.  Same Andy Walker show from earlier this weekend.  Off at 0137.  Dropped carrier at 0138.  Thanks for the show, Z!
