WDOG 6960 AM 2357 UTC 27 AUG 2022
« on: August 27, 2022, 2356 UTC »
Fair reception, noisy/fades  Thought it might have been BallSmacker at first but no IS/intro and reception says no.
2357 Music, CW
2358 CW over music
2359 Barking dogs....WDOG?
Thanks for ID, Poacher!  Ice thaw yet?  ;)
0000 "Are You Ready?" Grand Funk Railroad
0003 "Some Kind Of Wonderful" GFR, Reception much better
0008 "Can't Be Too Long" GFR, as a former transportation professional - I hope those are service dogs boarding the GFR
"Poacher - A thaw is what happens when you fall asleep midway through your third scotch on the rocks"

SINPO=45444

2358- "Are Friends Electric" by Tubeway Army, with barking and howling over it.
0000- OM IDs "This IS...WDOG."
0000- "Are You Ready" by Grand Funk Railroad, with more auditory kennel activity mixed in.
0003- OM says "Ok everybody on board...Grand Funk Railroad!"
0003- "Some Kind Of Wonderful" by Grand Funk Railroad, with more dogs on board of course!
0006- OM IDs and then pays homage to GFR's home of the Great State of Michigan, and says "Let's go for a ride!"
0006- "Can't Be Too Long" by Grand Funk Railroad.

Thanks CT Yank...but what is this "thaw" of which you speak???
