14:32 UTC tuned into Cupid Radio on 15.070 AM

SIO 333 with QSB to 222 but otherwise a good signal into northwestern South Carolina

14:32 - Outfield - "(I don't want to lose) Your Love"
14:35 Cupid Radio ID with mention of Chicago log above
14:36 - into music with signal fading somewhat - now around SIO 222 to 111 or lower during fades
14:39 - CCR - "Fortunate Son"
14:42 - Van Halen - "Why Can't This Be Love"
14:45 - Cupid Radio ID - VERY rough copy now - SIO 111
14:45 - back to music
14:48 - Hearing references to South Carolina and Chicago just making it through the static now.
14:53 - Signal came up for another ID - Hello to Caledonia(?)
15:00 - Guess Who - "American Woman"
15:03 - Cupid Radio ID - almost lost to noise floor, now
15:13 - Cupid Radio ID - received a recording, I think
15:16 - Music
15:35 - sounded like an email address, but signal and poorly-timed QSB caused it to fade at exactly the wrong moment, and I missed it.

Recording from 15:00 (band had already started to fade, so it was a bit rough by the time I started recording):  http://www.rthtg.net/pr/audio/cupid-radio_19-dec-2009_15-00.mp3
