{Thanks for an enjoyable show! Felt like I was reliving my teenage years for a spell. I measured the frequency at about 6948.1. Great signal throughout with minor selective fading. Nice to hear those songs again (except for Bobby Sherman and the T-Squares!) If you QSL from the site logs, I would be happy to receive one. I have another half hour of details if necessary.}
PS. I don't recall being able to hear WRKO here in Western Mass...we listened to WHYN AM and WTXL AM...in the early part of the 1970's, WAQY FM(ex-WTYM?) and WHVY FM(ex WMAS) switched to MOR and AOR format.

S5 here "Give me a little more time "

[Buccaneer]

Strong signal S8 into Western MA with some selective fading. I thought I heard the ID say "68 WKRO" ....68?

Skipmuck, no,  WRKO could not be heard very well west of their Burlington, MA transmitter, getting to Interstate 495 after dark is even a problem.

In early 1970, local WTXL-1490 AM had a great top 40 format and a Thursday evening Top 10 countdown called "Breakout". I would wait in anticipation of what was going to be number 1 that week...15 years old and the world was at my feet! WHYN-AM 560 also had a top 40 format, but in the early hours after midnight would play album cuts like "The End" by the Doors, the long version of IN-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, etc. Things just ain't like they used to be....
