1328 Nothing here  :(

John Hayes was the GM at WNBC.  "Life is a Rock" is a 1974 song, WNBC played mainly Top 40 on its programs.  It would almost seem like it was Imus' show (Imus in the Morning) if it was a criticism of Hayes.  Otherwise Cousin Bruce or Wolfman Jack's show based on music.

Hmmmmm......."Pilot of the Airwaves" is 1979.  Somewhat odd for WNBC to have played music in a five year gap.  Wolfman Jack long gone from station by that time.  Hayes is thought to have fired Howard Stern from WNBC in the 80's.

1346 Faint YL talking - right at noise floor, YL a non-American English speaker?

Fair signal. YL talking with what sounds like a recording warble, which makes it hard for me to understand. Now into some martial-sounding music. If I was tuning through the SWBC bands, I'd've guessed this was Radio Pyongyang.

ID at 1354 as "Squatter Town Radio" ?

Into what sounds like a BBC report with talk about Loving Awareness (Radio Caroline)

Now playing the Radio Nordsea International audio from when their ship (Mebo II) was sabotaged and they were calling SOS
