UPDATES:

Woops, the dates on this page were way out... I never noticed I had forgotten to complete the date banners properly!!! Apologies... Repaired now.. That's what happens when they are copied and pasted in a hurry....

 

LOGS FOR TODAY:

The band was virtually dead over the weekend, and I never bothered to even record the night before last. But today, I am glad I had not given up hope. I think I have two new personal firsts so far.

Note - This was announced as a syndicated test but not heard on any other station audable here. eg WINS, WFAN, WBBR, WABC So in the case of an emergency they rely on listeners to a station that broadcasts religious rubbish.... Who in the real world is going to be listening to that....geez....
