Hi Bill, awesome to have anything resembling trace audio from a DU in VA.
Any luck this morning. Here in IL good copy of 2BL 702 around 1155 for a
few minutes but nothing else better than trace audio today.
Podcasts have helped my be sure when playing back recordings. It seems (or
I can't find as am not clever enough) not all programs have podcasts. I
couldn't find a podcast for the New Music Show that was supposed to be on
3GI 828 yesterday morning to compare with the 3 clear minutes of a song I
heard.
re: 774. Just ruined by WBBM here less than 14 miles away. Once I did
manage to get SS on 774 // many others during superb TA cx using Phased
BOGs but that is much closer and strong than Oz.
