Excellent reception, a discussion of the Yankees, not play by play.  Yankee Baseball is the name of the program.

0000 Baseball organ music into OM talking for about three minutes on Yankees giving his name and email addy.  After 3 minutes WRMI went to music.  Program schedule for WRMI indicates this is a half hour program.

Truly odd broadcast on a number of accounts:
1) A really niche topic (not baseball but Yankee Baseball)
2) The program was 3 minutes long
3) The rapid talking host gave name and email a couple of times but so fast it was incomprehensible, after some research it is Mark Salmon (could be WRMI employee) bikinmark@aol.com
4) It was in a meandering format.  From research, I have learned this is the second weekly broadcast but no mention of whether future shows would be longer.

Sent a reception report to host.  He responded that program will be current and for five minutes.  He is not an employee of WRMI but he may do another program on WRMI. He is in a different line of work.  Avid Yankee fan though.  Recently, he was fortunate to cross paths wild one of my childhood favorites, Bobby Richardson.

Sounds different. I won't make any special effort to find that but will keep an ear open whenever my scans stop on WRMI.

I see you're in CA. Make sure to scan for Asian signals esp. early in the morning. Most are some flavor of CRI or CNR1 unfortunately (and by that I do mean well over 50% of AM broadcast signals you're likely to find will be one or the other, the latter because they use it to jam RTI, VOA, SOH and others). But if RFI noise isn't too much of a problem you should have a good shot at a lot of others. Hopefully you can get out to the coast and find a quiet location for a day.

Thanks for tips, MDK2.  I seem to recall in an earlier trip here, had much success with Asian broadcasters during morning.  Brought the PL 880 and 600 to try.

But task 1 first, catching the champions league final with my son at the Athletic Club in Oakland on Saturday.  By the way, should Harry Kane come over to the dark side (or rather sky blue) there is a seat for you here  ;D.

Oof, don't remind me. Congrats to City on an excellent season. I don't want to see Kane go but going I think he will, but I don't see him landing at City. You really don't need another striker, do you? I think I read that Chelsea was a likelier landing spot, and possibly your great rivals United could use a player like him. Enjoy the finals!

Just sayin'......... https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-harry-kane-transfer-20648661.  We lead the league in under 5'8" Iberian midfielders, we need a towering striker.

PS - You need to catch the penalty kicks ending of yesterday's United/Villareal Europa League Final, a series of shots for the ages.
