Some good Es events in the early part of the month, but things sure
collapsed rapidly after that. RDS is catching a few ID's, but with the
separate receiver it is only attempted when the signals are stable and
strong. Sometimes the CLOCK and PROGRAM TYPE functions turn up rather
discordant results for a given station! Once during this period one
station (instead of an ID/slogan) was just giving the title of the
current musical selection being played, while another had a cryptic
"12345 TESTING 54321" being displayed.
