That sounds about right, and the tone is quite audible here at 2206 CLT. Something I noticed about the time of Les' initial reception this evening - the tone started up right at about the time that they would've begun airing a talk program called the Phil Valentine Show. According to WZRX's website, this is a program that runs until Midnight CLT, and last night's tone went right up to Midnight sharp. Gotta be a connection there, like maybe a bad linkup, or something.
