SINPO=34333

2333- "Same Ol' Situation (S.O.S.)" by Motley Crue.
2335- Phone ringing, followed by crank phone call between OM caller and YL at doctor's office, by The Jerky Boys.
2337- Second Jerky Boys crank call, OM calling YL at a counseling office about a phobia-- He's afraid of his own shadow.
2339- Third Jerky Boys crank call, OM calling YL about applying for a job.
2341- Fourth Jerky Boys crank call, OM Frank Rousseau calling OM about hiring a clown to come to a party. The magic show and balloon sculpting don't seem to be fitting the bill for the gig.
2343- Silence, followed by OM on the mic with HFU shout-outs, and then station ID. THANKS FOR THE MENTION! Says he's a little bit over three hours into the show. Airing the very best of WREC from the early 90s, including a Halloween show. More shout-outs, station ID, and thanks for listening.
2346- Jerky Boys calls resume. OM caller has warts all over his backside.
All reception direct-- From my location, radio and antenna.
QTH New Hampshire (70 miles north of Boston).
Tecsun S-8800 and Kenwood R-2000, with about 135 feet of wire thrown up in the trees.
eQSLs most appreciated to molvaniapoacher@gmail.com.

A good signal here on the SDR recording, the signal was stronger on 6950 vs 6927.

Also noted a little earlier on 6927, from 2019-2024 with Billy Joel, perhaps testing to get the cobwebs out of the gear  ;D

Good to hear WREC again!
