SINPO=35333, but audio level a little low, comrade.
2324- Alt rock tune I couldn't ID.
2325- DJ DW on the mic, IDing RFW, and wondering if the static is from conditions or his equipment. Not sure what's going on, but he'll give it a go for at least a couple more minutes. Back to the music...
2327- "Saddest Disco Girl" by Ava Vegas And French Horn Rebellion.

SINPO=45433, nice work, comrade!
000- "Six Feet Deep" by The Warning.

Listening on a NY SDR. SINPO 55445 at 0010 UTC.
I'm busy with something else so no "play by play" from me but I wanted to let you know that I am listening.

Very nice (new) audio configuration, 8 KHz wide.
0045 - Now that I have been listening for over 30 minutes, my perception is that I think that I hear some clipping/limiting distortion on the bass frequencies.
0057 - Seems better but it might just be because of the songs being played.
0110 - I was right and DJDW is tweaking things as he goes along. The bass distortion is fixed, comrade. Very nice - but not thumping - bass. Without splitting hairs, if you wanted to add a little bit back in, that would be OK too but just a little.
0114 - Momma?
