Good signal with "Purple Haze" at 2219. Off immediately afterward & peskies talking on the freq. I guess the audio clip looped back to the 1st song & the transmitter op decided to keep it running 'til the song was over rather than pulling it mid-song. I heard WHOT a few times in western PA above the AM band about 40 years ago. They were on a LOT through the '80s and did a great job recording their shows (I think on VHS tapes) for posterity. They posted some shows on their website. I also found some (51+ hours of their long shows!) at https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/whot

WHOT was the radio home of Jerry Starr, a longtime NRC columnist.
