SINPO=22111, tough copy here, but rises in signal out of the QRM from time to time.

051- "Green River" by CCR.
052- OM speaking. Recorded clip of someone calling in and at end DJ asks favorite station, and caller replies "WQOK!"
052- "I Was Made For Lovin' You" by Kiss. <<Now SINPO=33222, then up to 43333 by 055!>>
055- Musical Jingle ID for station. DJ talks about dedications. Speaking with YL caller to dedication line, and then another caller.
057- "Free Ride" by The Edgar Winter Group.
059- Funny synthesized voice I can't understand, into music, and then Asian language numbers station clips.
100- Music and then DJ mentions "dedication line," followed by music then musical jingle ID.
101- "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'" by Journey with some electronic sounding effects over it a few times. Time pips over music at 103 (x2).
104- OM DJ IDs, then takes dedication line callers. <<Now SINPO=22111>>
105- Movie or TV show clip of Moe ("I'd knock your brains out if you had any!") A few more clips played. Moe repeated a few times.
106- "Disco Inferno" with effects and clips over music. (YL, "where have you been?" OM "And so on, and so on, and so").
109- OM DJ IDs station followed by SSTV. Clip of King of the Hill about Bobby wackin' off in his tool shed, over SSTV.
111- Classic rock music resumes, but really tough to copy now due to what sounds like UTE QRM bleeding over into frequency.

Thanks for the relay of the last night of 1140 WQOK, Greenville, NC:
