1532 - Male vocalist.
1537 - Male announcer with "WRKO" ID and fast talking, forwarded by Richie Valens La Bamba.
1540 - Just Give Me Some Kind of a Sign Girl
1545 - Cover of The Beatles "Goodbye" (Mary Hopkins?)
1547 - "...on an album cover...Mary Hopkins..." Followed by more music (familiar tune but I can't recall the title). Noise has abated just enough for now, at least.
1550 - Male announcer mentioned "1964." Music follows.
1604 - Announcer mentioned "Glen Campbell," followed by Gavelston.
Good signal but lots of noise. Hearing better on 6.975.55 USB now.

2226: OM talk at tune in.
2232: "Here on Commercial Radio. Ad parody followed.
2236: "You're tuned to Commercial Radio." Discussion of The Grateful Dead and their American Beauty album.
2243: Let It Be parody song
2245: "In conjunction with Sick Puppy Productions, Commercial Radio." Off?
Fair-good, but much of the audio is marred by and lost in the noise. SINPO=34232.

2131 - Karma Chameleon
2135 - Aha: Take on Me
2143 - Tainted Love
2149 - Hungry Like the Wolf
Strong signal on 6.934.98. Minor fades and moderate noise levels. Mostly steady. SINPO so far=45444. By 2155, the signal has descended into deep noise here.
Nice 80's program! Maybe we'll hear The Cure?

Heard since 0146, with WENO ID at 0147, then into psychedilic (or neo-psychedelic) music with male vocalist. Killer signal here in NE MA. SINPO=45444. Some very mild static crashes and fuzzy audio, but mostly, an excellent signal. Next song at 0152.

Heard here since 0246, with electronica (?) music. Announcer acknowledged postings on HFU fro Andy Yoder, Molvanian Poacher, and others, then back to bass-driven music. Fair-good, no interference, but much static, some fades (some good, some bad), and fair-good audio. The signal is overcoming the noise though. SINPO here is about 35232.

Didn't hear this one, but it sounds like a tribute to the great pirate town of Mt. Kisko, NY!

0222 -Silent Night with baritone OM vocalist. Much WQFG (Hudson Co. NJ) interference, but no at all overwhelming.
0239 Choir singing "Gloria." Decent, mostly steady signal.
Just speculating, but could this be CHIM from Ontario?
0243 _ Instrumental of Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Checked CHIM "Listen Live" on their website and it didn't sync up with the signal on 1710.
0246 _ Next (instrumental song)

Reading this at lunch. You guys are reminding me why I'll be so happy to be retired in a few months! Then I can join you in catching special pirate broadcasts during the daytime.

Heard here since 0013. Dickweed announced the name of the song, discussed the listener line, and took calls from listeners, including "Mike from Maine." Back to music at 0018 but although the signal peaks quite well, almost strong, it also fades severely, as it is now, with much noise. No SW interference noted. Always a treat to hear RFW though.
