Narrative:

Roc ATIS 124.82 unreadable until at the field. 100 DME nothing. 60 DME static. 35 DME sounds like 2 frequencys and heavy static. Have to check in with approach negating information. 10 DME can barely make out the information among the static. At the field work 4.0 -- a day late and a dollar short.
