Solid signal via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR, though pretty high noise levels abound ...

2102 UTC: Alaska Public Media news.
2104 UTC: Promo for "Talk of Alaska" program and underwriting messages, then "Alone Again Or" by Calexico.
2107 UTC: Paul Walker on the mic with KSKO ID, talking about the music, and giving shout-outs to HFU listeners, including me.
2108 UTC: Paul talking about the need for listener support in light of the CPB funding cut, then "Out of My Head" by Fastball.
2111 UTC: "Small Paradise" by John Cougar.
2114 UTC: Jingle into "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson.
2118 UTC: "Your Mama Don't Dance" by Loggins & Messina.
2121 UTC: Paul back on the mic, talking about how the station's audio might sound different after he made a technical change. Then he previewed the rest of the hour.
2122 UTC: "Blinded by the Light" by Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
2126 UTC: KSKO jingle into "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles. The signal strength's down a little amid the band noise.
2128 UTC: "With a Little Help From My Friends" by The Beatles.
2131 UTC: Paul back on the mic with ID and giving another shout-out or two (including to me), then reinforcing the KSKO membership message. (SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC STATION SUCH AS KSKO, AS WELL AS SMALLER COMMUNITY STATIONS SUCH AS KSER/KXIR, WHICH I'M INVOLVED WITH!)

Thanks for the program again! I'll keep listening, but I've also got to get back to working!
