Deep, rolling fades, and then caught snidbits of Little River Band - Lonesome Loser. Heard on truck stereo on drive back from work. Then, heard call letters of WPEX 90.9FM? (What???) Very weak, with just those rolling fades.
 
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Good signal at times on 1710 in the car from well north of Harrisburg to home. Talking in the car + I was driving, so I just mostly checked the radio from time to time. Did note "La Macarena" around 0138.

It's awesome to hear some stations on 1710 again!
