I had heard the report on Broadcastify's CSX Plymouth and Canadian National Flint Subs. Sometimes the DD104.3 reports can be heard better on this feed. I keep this feed & the CSX West Michigan feeds running at the same time & I'll switch to the one that is hearing the report more clearly. It varies, never know when one feed id going to be better than the other.
