SINPO=34333.

004- OM IDs with reverb, "coming from somewhere in the Great Lakes..." WWBR.
005- Into "Highway 61" but can't tell if it was Dylan or a cover version.
010- Same OM ID as at 004.
011- "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds.
016- OM IDs with reverb, "Pirate radio from somewhere in the Great Lakes, this is WWBR, World Wide Basement Radio."
016- "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder.
020- OM IDs, shorter, just "World Wide Basement Radio."
021- C&W song by OM, "I Don't Want No Part of It" presumed.
023- Same OM ID as at 020.
023- "Uncle Jack" by Spirit.

Still going strong, at SINPO= 44433.
146- "Everything She Wants" by Wham!
147- OM IDs, longer version.
147- "Could It Be I'm Falling In Love" by The Spinners.
151- OM IDs and he IDs last song. "Hope you're having a good wind-down to your long weekend. Here's one we haven't heard for awhile." Then IDs again.
152- "No More Words" by Berlin.
155- OM IDs and then IDs last song. "Creeping up on 156 UTC." IDs next tune. IDs station again. "Having a good time here. Take care folks!"
156- "No Man's Land" by Bob Seeger. <<Fast but deep fades creeping in now>>
159- OM IDs with reverb, then brief burst of a bugle call (not reveille), and OFF.

Great, clear signal most of the time. Nicely done and thanks for the show!

This one's just fading up to audible levels out here near Seattle as of 0152 UTC. We're still a good 40 minutes away from local sunset.
