Fair signal staying above the noise northeast of Seattle ...

0010 UTC: "Proud Mary" by Credence Clearwater Revival.
0012 UTC: Another classic rock song. Might be hearing some peskie interference here.
0014 UTC: Another song, then ID by OM announcer at 0016, followed by CCR's "As Long as I Can See the Light." Still interference by what sounds like maybe another station rather than peskies.
0018 UTC: Another ID: "W.O.W.L. ... The Owl." Then "The Rising of the Moon" by Peter, Paul & Mary.
0021 UTC: "That's right, you're in tune with the old owl, W.O.W.L." ID. Then beginning of CCR's "Bootleg," followed by "Bad Moon Rising."
0023 UTC: ID again into "Early Mornin' Rain" by Peter, Paul & Mary, then CCR's "What Are You Gonna Do."
0026 UTC: OM with ID again, then a long silence until "Back of My Mind" by Louise Taylor.
0030 UTC: "Catch Your Kisses" by Louise Taylor.

Station underneath is right now just an OM repeating an ID over and over.

Thanks to The Owl for the music!

Nice ID at 00:46:15 at tune-in from way out off the north west coast of BC on Haida Gwaii.  Another hour until LSS.  Otherwise, I'm just hearing pirate fishermen on the band so far!   QSLs always welcome to CANSWL (at) Gmail (dot) com!   Perseus receiver and 500' North Beverage used as well as a large diameter ALA 100 LN aimed NNE/SSW.
