on 4185 USB           direct

0047 less noise on weaker antenas, but it's music again, 0052 talking, music
0102 DJ, music

Not going to be less noisy. Good evening there !

Still listening here too, and we'll listen until signoff!  The wife pulled out Shazam for the William The Conqueror song and especially liked it.

Still listening & still excellent signal on 4185U. Played a song by Dig, then Dick talked about logging activity drying up for this show on HFU. Thanks for the long show!

Off at 0146, after a goodbye & happy Easter wishes
