Notes:
The broadcast was marred by repeated dropouts that were inherent in the broadcast and which were present in both the FM broadcast and the online mp3 stream. Most dropouts were for a split second and were simply closed up manually using Bias Peak's editing tool.

However, a number of times the signal dropped out completely for nearly a half-second. Nearly all of the dropouts were repaired using splices from similar passages within a song.

One long (more than a minute) stretch of repeated dropouts and glitches during Track 5 could not be completely fixed. The unlistenable portion (about 32 seconds) was removed, with fades applied and one second of digital silence inserted.

A 24-second station ID was removed about 5:32 into Track 5. Another 18 seconds was removed at 5:37 into Track 7.
