Nice S9 signal and good audio heard via the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland ...

2202 UTC: "Safe European Home" (opening track of the "Give 'Em Enough Rope" album) by The Clash, my favorite band.
2205 UTC: Dogs barking sounds, then the usual WDOG host with ID and brief words into "Bankrobber," also by The Clash.
2209 UTC: Host saying he's going to be playing more Clash songs, then "Atom Tan," a song from the eccentric back half of the "Combat Rock" album.
2212 UTC: "Train in Vain" by The Clash (This is the band's most popular mainstream song; I think it's slightly overrated).
2215 UTC: Host commenting a bit on the music, WDOG jingle, then "Death or Glory" from the "London Calling" album.
2219 UTC: Host: "I think I'll take glory," then he played "Somebody Got Murdered" from the "Sandinista!" album.
2222 UTC: Host with ID: "This is WDOG, and if this is too loud, you're too old." Then "London Calling," the opening track from the album of the same name.
2226 UTC: "Charlie Don't Surf," also from the "Sandinista!" album.
2230 UTC: "This is England" from the notorious "Cut the Crap" album, which many Clash fans don't consider to be part of the band's official discography.
2234 UTC: Host with ID and trying out his English accent into "Rock the Casbah" from the "Combat Rock" album. Sadly, I have to turn off my computer now and get my weekly allergy shots.

Thanks for playing all the Clash songs today!
