Poor reception to start then very good

2050 Music mainly at noise floor
2052 Reception improving, "Start Me Up" Rolling Stones
2055 Wolfman Jack talking to "Edge of Seventeen" Stevie Nicks, very good reception now
Interesting, these pre-recorded for future play tapes never made it on air to Radio Caroline as I understood - were recorded to be used but Radio Caroline had a delayed return in early 80's.
2101 "Our Lips Are Sealed" The Go-Go's
2105 "Louie Louie" The Pretenders
2108 Wolfman introducing "Private Eyes" Hall & Oats
2113 "Urgent" Foreigner
2116 "Pearl Necklace" ZZ Top
2120 "Arthur's Theme" Christopher Cross

Tuned in at 2056 utc on Traverse City MI sdr with weak S7-S9 signal, rock tune sung by woman, "our lips are sealed" by the go-go's, tried other sdr's east west north and south but all were worse, DJ sounds like (the late) Wolfman Jack,

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com

SINPO=12221, with bad Ute QRM and a distorted sounding audio, so tough copy here, unfortunately.

2120- "Arthur's Theme" by Christopher Cross.
2123- OM DJ IDs last tune, adding "Seven bells," and IDing Radio Caroline.
2124- "I Could Never Miss You" by Lulu.

2154- Tuned back in, just in time to hear OM on the mic, then signal lost or off at 2155.
