S9+ with ID @ 0043 and into "Blues Before and After" by the  Smithereens.
S8 to S9 @ 0114 with "Ebony Eyes" followed by ID. Into "Tuff Enuff".  Impressive barber-poling on the waterfall, but decent copy.

0029 UTC Man announcer with..."Thanks for listening to WMID...it's all music and all ID's all the time...(something about The Crystal Ship?)...Happy Thanksgiving from WMID", then OFF

Making it into south central Lower Michigan (near Lansing) as well -- but just barely.

0100 started listening with an ID and into "The Way She Looks" then a Beatles tune and "Your Eyes" and "Tough Enough" as I type (0115). Many IDs by OM Computer voice "WMID All Music and IDs all the time" between pretty much every song.
All above the noise floor, but just barely. 343+42+ with 'fair' peaks.

Just caught the end of this.... unid music, and then

"what's (something) favorite radio station?  The Crystal Ship of course.  Happy Thanksgiving from WMID" and off at 0129.

Really, thanks WMID!

Signal was fair, I didn't quite have time to do "numbers" on it.  I don't think my antenna is hooked up quite right here at the moment..
