I was going to fall asleep to C2C AM, on the WVTS FM translator, on 95.7FM, but it was totally bowled-over by a Classic Rock station around 1:15AM EST. YL announcer talking over the beginning of the start of some tracks, so it didn't seem that she was voice tracked, but live-on-air. I clearly hear the call WQMS, but did not get a legal ID. Doing a search for WQMS, on https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/finder?freq=95.7&sort=Call&count=100&sr=1&band=FM&is_fx=Y&prev=200  yield nothing plausible. So, maybe a very recent format change? Strange, but Eastern USA Tropo, due to the heatwave, was certainly going on.
The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No mater where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
