If at all possible, please eQSL at [email protected], I'd really like to hear from you. I also only plan on 1 hour of entries as this will be a long enough list as it is, and I have other things to do (sorry).

General information about this station: They have been on the air for a few years now at a very random schedule predominantly on the weekends but are also on during the week and run anywhere as early as 10 am (local time) or as late as 2 pm, ending as early as 3 pm to as late as 11 pm. Usual programming consists of Older American Top 40 programs, Top 100 countdowns from random years (not sure where the rankings are sourced from) and sometimes random radio specials on various artists (I heard one earlier this week about Elvis)

have they ever given a station ID?
MPT exemption applies. For more information consult Article 19, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UN, 1948

Never, just once on a blue moon they will have either a computer voice or something spliced together from something they recorded from the radio. The top 100 countdowns they do are the same.

At the start it will say "Countdown 1966" or whatever year, and they repeat it 3 times. Then as they count down each position is stated once, with every tenth position repeating "Countdown 1966 number 30" or whatever year and rank also three times.

If they have a sung or announced number, they will use that instead of computer voices. As I've mentioned, I'd love to do the voice work to make it better.
