Strong S10+ signal heard at the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR with good audio but some static noise and fading ...

2112 UTC: "Dead or Alive" by Journey.
2115 UTC: Female-voiced underwriting announcement for KSKO, then "Mr. Bojangles" cover by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
2118 UTC: "Nothin' But a Good Time" by Poison.
2122 UTC: Paul on the mic with ID and shout-outs to HFU listeners, including me. He then mentioned upcoming music into "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede.
2125 UTC: Paul with promo for KSKO's social media, etc., into "Roller Derby Queen" by Jim Croce.
2129 UTC: Paul on the mic with an underwriting mention, a listener shout-out, weather conditions and forecast in McGrath and other places in Alaska.
2133 UTC: Another HFU shout-out by Paul, then a preview of coming music into "Black Magic Woman" by Santana.
* * * * *
2147 UTC: Momentary loss of the audio, but the signal stayed on. The audio was back quickly with Paul continuing to read the winners of a recent raffle.
* * * * *
2200 UTC: The audio ended after KSKO underwriting message; the signal signed off at 2201 UTC.

I listened until the end of the hour while I worked. As usual, nice to hear a slice of this station up in Alaska!
