S10+ signal with not much noise but some fading heard via the Traverse City, Michigan, SDR ...

0049 UTC: "Are 'Friends' Electric?" by Tubeway Army & Gary Numan refrain and Morse code.
0050 UTC: "Every 1's a Winner" by Hot Chocolate with some thrown-in barks.
0053 UTC: Signal suddenly gone.
0105 UTC: Tuned in again and heard "Every 1's a Winner" by Hot Chocolate playing again, this time in USB.
0109 UTC: Usual OM host with WDOG ID and challenging listeners to figure out which songs played tonight aren't from the 1970s, then "Tones of Home" by Blind Melon (not a '70s song, BTW).
0114 UTC: "Night Theme" by Iggy Pop & James Williamson, then "Consolation Prizes," also by Iggy Pop & James Williamson.
0118 UTC: Host repeating his "'70s or not?" challenge into "Grace Kelly Blues" by Eels, followed by "You Could Have Been a Lady" by April Wine.
0125 UTC: OM on mic chatting about the definition of "the '70s" into "Pretty Pink Rose" by Adrian Belew.
0129 UTC: OM on mic into "Thank U" by Alanis Morissette.
0133 UTC: Host says the dogs don't like the next song, then "Get Down" by Gilbert O'Sullivan.
0136 UTC: Host with quick intro into "Meat City" by John Lennon.

* * * *

0204 UTC: Tuned into 6950 USB just in time to hear "The Magnificent Seven" by The Clash, one of my favorite songs by my favorite band!

Thanks for the music tonight, WDOG!
