C-QUAM with S7-S8 signal, live time checks, nice talk-ups between songs.  Some static hampering things here, but still sounding good.  Thanks for the show RH!

0129z: KMFDM on shortwave, nice!

Barely caught the ID at 0303, otherwise couldn't get much beyond a carrier on sidebands.  Darnit!  Thanks anyway, Redhat.
