1949 UTC Nice signal at S8 here on 6949.4ish KHZ with a song mentioning PT109, then a short clip of "Big John".
1951 UTC "Abraham, Martin, and John"-Dion
1954 UTC Man announcer with repeated ID's (and ID in phonetics?)...."WJFK", then OFF
1956 UTC Back on again with "Sunny"-Bob Hebb
1959 UTC "PT-109"-Jimmy Dean
2002 UTC "Abraham, Martin, and John"-Dion
2005 UTC ID by man announcer repeated several times (also phonetics?)..."WJFK
2006 UTC OFF
I had to look up the song Sunny to see what the relationship was to JFK. Seems the song was written by Bobby Hebb in the days following the JFK assasination and the murder of Bobby Hebbs older brother the same day as JFK!

(Thanks for the show and a remembrance of a good man!)

Pretty good with strong audio. '60 pop "Sonny"

Heard it from this point until the sign off, after a few IDs, with an "old radio recording" type of sound.

Thanks for the show & the QSLs from years past!
