Fantastic signal here in upstate SC - SIO 444 or better, little to no fade, meter reading S8 to S9.
The only detractor is the usual flurry of OTH radar sweeps blotting it out from time to time, as is normal for this band at night.

01:48 - crooning - "Start the new year right"
01:49 - "love you 24 hours a day, 365 a year"
01:52 - oldies song
01:54 - "It's that time of the year"
01:56 - Wolverine Radio ID - into another song
02:02 - "Reeling in the Years"
02:06 - Bowie - "Golden Years"
02:09 - Wolverine Radio ID into another song
02:35 - SSTV:

I missed most of the California themed set, but the computer caught these:
