Fair/poor at 1653. Weak enough in the noise that I'm having a tough time IDing the music. It's been a while since I've even heard an old relay of Grasscutter

Listening via the SDR in Shrewsbury, Vermont, which is receiving an S9ish signal and good audio with some noise and fading at times ...

1659 UTC: "Tube Snake Boogie" by ZZ Top.
1701 UTC: Male host with ID and email address of [email protected], followed by "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band.
1705 UTC: ID by host again into "I Woke Up This Morning (Live at the Fillmore East)" by Ten Years After.
1712 UTC: Host greeting the "slobs" out there and repeating the email address, followed by "Rainy Day Women #12 and 35" by Bob Dylan.
1717 UTC: ID and email address given again (these announcements are all either the same or similar to each other), then "Life's Been Good" by Joe Walsh.
1722 UTC: Vintage tape of Alan Colmes interviewing Randy Steele and Alan Weiner about rock radio in NYC and Radio Newyork International (RNI).
1733 UTC: The old pirate radio interview continues, now in a vintage ad break (who knew a K-Mart ad could sound nostalgic?).
1736 UTC: Alan Colmes, Randy Steele, and Alan Weiner return with their interview and take calls.
1747 UTC: WNBC radio jingle and another ad break.
1749 UTC: Alan Colmes and his guests return and take more callers.
1755 UTC: The interview tape ended, and then off.

Thanks for the music and the vintage WNBC pirate radio interview!
