« on: October 16, 2012, 2342 UTC »
Came on with David Bowie's "1984", followed by Genesis "A Trick Of The Tail".

ID at 2348z. Into Stones "Ain't Too Proud to Beg".

About an S5 signal here, with a bit of fading, static, and some QRM.

Just turned on the radio and caught the Rave On ID.  Rave On hasn't been doing very well here in NH for the last few months, way down in the noise and very tough to copy.  Tonight they are doing much better, still in the noise but doing well enough to copy everything - about S3-S5 with an S5 noise level.

0027z ID
0027z Creedence - Fortunate Son
0050z Signal still holding up, The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again
0058z ID, "Second Debate Show" and off...  Thanks Rave On

Recorder Catch on 6925USB while out buying dog food...

I forgot to compute the start time from the audio recording, but it appears to be around 2340.  S8 peaks here, but some deep valleys to S5, and tailing off at the end.

Thanks for the show, Rave On!
