6940 USB
1810z: Nary a peep here in Gopher Stomp (until 1900z) but good via remote rx in Ohio.  Lester Moran with WEAK Radio ID's and something about Rainbow Valley.
1816z: Very brief bit of "He'll Have To Go", something about beatniks, "Hello Darlin'", announcement that Burford's barber shop is open for business again.
1821z: WEAK Radio ID, tune in next week for more of the same.  Real voice IDs, not the WEAK IDs I've heard before.  (Ahh, per history of this Lester Moran show, WEAK was the name of the fictitious local AM station airing this spoof.)
1825z: Sounds like Viola swallowed Tiny Tim and is warbling up a storm.
1828z: Dexter Dull and The Sharp Tones murdering "Beautiful Dreamer"
1831z: More familiar DJ KT WEAK ID, into Ralph Emery interviewing Lester Moran.
1900z: Just now audible on my own receiver, but only able to confirm by comparing with stronger reception on remote rx.
1919z: Via my own rx, sounds like reprise of earlier "He'll Have To Go" and Roadhog's comments about beatniks.

This show is hilarious, like the C&W version of Spinal Tap.
