0116 "Gloria"
0119 "Joline Begging You Please"


Signal is S5-S7.   Some QSB and QRM.   Signal is less readable than Wolverine Radio....but at times a S9 signal for 2-3 seconds.
Equipment is an IC-7300 using a G5RV diople up 40 feet.   Location is Winfield, IN (Crown Point, IN). ....on a cold 18F winter night....a far cry from my old home in California where it is 60F.

RAdditional music by Rolling Stones, Donnie Iris, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, and Helen Reddy(?).
By 0245 station swallowed up in noise floor.
