My guess is that you probably entered a parameter incorrectly. As an example,
if, on Dec 14 at 2200 you wanted to begin recording on Dec 15 at 0355 but
entered Dec 14 at 0355 by mistake, the status of the job would probably be
expired because Dec 14 at 0355 was already in the past.
As expected, no luck here either. Just a very loud WCRN Worcester, MA with
some other talker weakly in the background - maybe old friend WCCO which was
heard nightly here in the 60's and 70's.
