Can be heard weakly via the Northern Utah SDR, but I'm listening via the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C., which has a fair to good signal ...

0130 UTC: OM talking about AM and SSB and his various transmitters and antennas, as well as "wide-ass signals," with dogs barking, yipping, and howling in the background. There also was talking in the background; maybe a jammer?
0136 UTC: Now talking about the "mostly minor annoyance" of jammers.
0137 UTC: "OK, on to the next part of the show ..." and then says he's playing sine waves of various hertz (I heard the 200, 500, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 2.7 kHz, 3 kHz, and 3.5 kHz sounds). He kept playing increasing frequency waves, though his own signal and his audio were fading out by 0142 UTC.
0144 UTC: OM moved along to playing tone sweeps.
0145 UTC: "I Love My Dog" by Cat Stevens.
0147 UTC: "This is the part of the show where we send waterfall images ..." The waterfall included pirate and transmitter symbols, then images of the OM and dogs. He then sent images of "listeners" and then of "Ballsmacker and his girlfriend."
0154 UTC: OM complaining about running out of things to talk about, then goes into more conspiracy theories, including that he's never seen proof that Hawaii and Canada exist. More barking.
0155 UTC: "I think this next song tells you all you need to know about the broadcast schedule for WDOG," then plays "Police on My Back" by The Clash (my favorite band!).
0159 UTC: Talks again about running out of things to talk about, says the dogs want to go out, then plays "Something for the Pain" by She Drew the Gun.
0202 UTC: OM with "This is WDOG" ID, then "Shambala" by Three Dog Night.
...
0228 UTC: After a bunch of more waterfall images, fart sound effects, and more music (including Gary Numan's outstanding "Are Friends Electric?") and dog howls, WDOG signed off at 0243 UTC.

Thanks for the great program, WDOG!
