Pounding in w/ country music by Dwight Yoakem.  Lots of live tracks.  A Solid S8 with no fading.

AI-generated Trump voice to " make pirate radio great again" at 2120.

Into cover of Deep Purple's Space Truckin'" (sounds like Tesla) at 2122, followed by the James Gang "Walk Away" (another cover?), followed by a cover of the Guess Who's "Hand Me Down World" (this sounded like Tesla, too)

Tune-in at 2147, with "Gloria, In Excelsis Deo" choral hymn, followed by choral rendition of a medley of "Jingle Bells" & "Frosty the Snowman".  Brief cut-out at 2151, then into a new Christmas song. A new rendition of "White Christmas" ?  Some sort of announcement by YL about the previous snippet of a Christmas song previously-played, which mentioned being about children.  Some very brief audio, then a break in audio 'til 2158, with a brief rendition of "O Come Let Us Adore Him", followed by "Ragin' Cajun Christmas"

S-9 here in N. Alabama.  PSE QSL info below.

Tune-in at 2315, to hear Chicago's "Saturday In The Park".  Shout out to listener(s) at 2318, into UNID song.

Alice in Chains "Man In The Box" at 2323, followed by UNID song, then "Rhythm of the Night" by De Barge.  Announcer broke in w/ a brief announcement at around 2336, then into another UNID song, then  "Eternal Flame" by the Bangles at about 2340.  "True" by Spandau Ballet at around 2343.  "Funky Cold Medina" by Tone-Loc at 2349.  More songs, including Tom Petty's "Free Falling".  Still listening at 0005.  Still a decent signal with very little fading.  Nothing more heard here after tgh Tom Petty song.

Fair (about an S6) but no fading into N. Alabama.

S9, into N.

PSE QSL info below.  BTW,  numerous IDs of "Wolverine Radio" after 2130.  No need to QSL, as I already have one.  Thank you for another great show, with great audio !

S6, here in N. Alabama, with a lot of QRN.

SSTV at 2336, followed by UNID song/artist "On The Radio"  Numerous IDs at 2240, mentioning what sounded like "HCR". Into UNID songs and announcements, soon after.  Hard to ID the station, due to exaggerated sound effects during the IDs. "Psycho" Radio ??  More UNID music, and more SSTV at 2348.  UNID Techno/club music followed.  Announcement at 2355, mentioning "This is not a test". A couple of IDs by OM, spoken over techno/dance music in a digitized voice, at 0013, which sounded line "Q R M".  Hard to ID, due to the pounding music and the digitization.  More SSTV at 0016.
