2125 UTC: Female announcer with KSKO business membership message into "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel.
2128 UTC: "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" by Three Dog Night. This signal's fading down to nearly nothing at times.
2131 UTC: Paul on the mic with ID, time check, and shouting out new KSKO members. He also explained more about the funding challenges faced by KSKO and other public radio stations.
2136 UTC: Paul with local weather conditions and forecast for McGrath, Alaska, and surrounding regions (it's currently warmer up there than here in the Seattle suburbs!).

2158 UTC: Female announcer with KSKO underwriting message into "Loss of Control" by Van Halen. The signal strength's fading a bit more often now.

Thanks again for the relay, KSKO and ION Radio. Back at my radio and laptop after a week vacationing down on the Oregon Coast!
