Nice signal with lite movie-type music & some other segments mixed in, such as "bring out your dead" YL phonetic ID & into music that I tuned into at 1400 this morning when I heard Ion earlier

Just finished setting up a test version of a fairly large horizontal loop so I can tune the bands on one radio while recording with the other (finally). It sounds pretty good on the R8 right now while listening to Ion
