Music. ID and QSL info at 0116z. SINPO 33222. There seems to be an occasional cyclical signal in the background. Maybe an ute?

Noise and static crashing is quite rough, plus the storms across the state on the Atlantic coast probably are not helping here.

Anyway, the trip is being made and modulation is great as usual when the noise cooperates.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
