2356- "Sad and Lonely" by Secret Machines.
000- ID by man as "WTF Radio Worldwide, broadcasting from the East Coast of North America, to the World, _____ Canada" followed by comedy routine of dad and kid fighting about going to school.
001- "Talk to Ya Later" by The Tubes. Male voice with number station type copy under music at 004.
006- "Some Might Say" by Oasis.
010- Same ID by man as before.
010- "Time" by David Bowie.
015- DJ mentions his name as "in the studio tonight" and is playing songs about social distancing and isolation.
015- "Hyacinth House" by The Doors.
018- DJ IDs as WTF Worldwide and says something different.
019- "Pulling Teeth" by Green Day.
021- "The Ocean" by Zeppelin.
025- DJ IDs and thanks listeners for reception reports.
025- "My City Was Gone" by The Pretenders.
By 030 lost entirely under the QRN.
033- DJ IDs again mentioning "East Coast of North America," then into another song, but lost again under noise.
Checked back in and signal reacquired at 046 with rock music and male singer.
048- DJ IDs briefly
048- "Sick as a Dog" by Aerosmith.
[Lost signal for a bit due to localized QRN, I believe]
108- "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston.
110- Super Slo-mo voice effect DJ IDing.
110- Kate Bush song.
114- DJ IDs and then "Hello Americans, this is Paul Harvey, standby for...news..."
114-Off

At 2356, SINPO=23222, with some localized QRN making copy difficult, but can make out basics.
By 000, signal strengthening to SINPO=34343.
By 010, signal going under the QRN, SINPO back to 23222.

At 0003 weak signal under very noisy conditions.
ID @ 0015 with just the op and the Roomba.  Music by the Doors.
Big improvement  in signal as night as progressed.  Strong signal and good audio at 0105.
ID  at 0115 as WTF Radio Worldwide.  Audio clip of Paul Harvey; "Stand by for the news." Then,  Pfftt! Gone.
