00:29 UTC - DJ reminiscing of the days of WRNO. "This is WTF, East coast of North America";
01:23 UTC - Last song. "Have a good night". Signal is a nice +15.
01:26 UTC - End of broadcast.

Thank you for the show and the alternative programming.

Tuned in at 0028 utc, fair/poor signal on Dixon IL sdr, hear old pock tune "rebel rebel", DJ talking, song "I'm not in love and don't forget it", same results with Barrington Hills sdr, at 0049 DJ said "this is WTF radio broadcasting from the east coast", increasing static.
