2149 UTC OM with slowed down ID..."WFAT", into "Papa Oom Mow Mow"-The Rivingtons
2153 UTC OM with ID, followed by the Rivingtons tune again
2156 UTC OM with ID..."WFAT...The fat one", into the same tune
2159 UTC OM with ID, then OFF

I haven't heard that ID since the 1980's! ***
Here's my recording of the show:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15jlHmgXYGBhO2yQO0tilNTxdrLihpL3P/view?usp=sharing
Please QSL!  :)

*** Checking back on my QSL's it seems I was wrong about that ID in the 1980's. It was WHOT that I heard and QSL'd! WFAT was one of a series of stations run by a group of ops that were pioneers in North American pirate radio! WFAT apparently was busted in 1979....

Weird and cool show! At first hard to decipher WFAT with the voice but then I got it thanks to hsmith. Good S8 signal in the Boston burbs.

Hope we get some more WFAT shoved down our radio holes soon!
