I suspect that the loggings of WQLD are actually WQLB based upon these two recently published blog posts:

https://danlewisradioguy.blogspot.com/2017/10/just-who-was-randall-ripley.html

http://www.doomsteaddiner.net/blog/2017/10/08/requiem-for-a-pirate/

And this just popped up on Soundcloud.  Wonder if this is what was heard?  Songs seem to follow loggings:
