0114: Several people talking, w/live audience, laughing for no apparent reason
0125: commercial for home security system, tree foundation, GoodRX
0128: think it was said this was WBEZ Chicago (relay/rebroadcast, of course), more laughing for no apparent reason
- man, these are certainly some cackle-happy ... people ... they laugh at anything. Must have had double their daily meds at the institution. I guess even the mentally infirmed should have an outlet.

Never thought it would come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio. Is life great, or what!?

Listening via the SDR in Fork Union, Virginia, which is receiving an S3 to S5 signal and decent audio amid static crashes ...

0131 UTC: This is a rebroadcast of "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me," the weekly NPR quiz show. The show's currently in the "Bluff the Listener" segment.
0135 UTC: The show's now in the "Not My Job" segment with Olivia Munn. According to the NPR website, this is the latest show from last weekend.
0142 UTC: The theme of the "Not My Job" segment is "Your 'Friends' and 'Neighbours.'"
0145 UTC: Some loud buzzing from Sternradio's waterfall images being broadcast on a nearby frequency.
0146 UTC: The program took a break for underwriting announcements.
0148 UTC: Back to the program with announcer Bill Kurtis giving re-introductions to this week's panel and the guest host.
0149 UTC: The panel members are being asked questions from this past week's news.
0153 UTC: The show's guest host promoted upcoming live tapings of the show on the road.
0154 UTC: We're now in the news limerick segment with a call-in contestant from Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
0159 UTC: Another underwriting announcement break (this show is one of NPR's most popular, so it has several underwriting breaks!).
0200 UTC: We're now at the final segment of the show, "Lightning Fill in the Blank."
0208 UTC: Off just as the program ended.

Thanks for the broadcast tonight!
