DJ doesn't know what the theme will be tonight.

00:30 Professor Magnetron just found his notes, and it's 1979, he says. That must be the theme. Into Gary Numan - In Cars. Starting to get some propagation effects, but SAM mode is holding the signal well.

00:48 W-D-O-G singing ID with howl. David Bow-wow's Don't Look Back In Anger. Sound like a text message came in.
00:51 "We're gonna hear a song about a cat, and that's going to get the cats riled up" Into Squeeeze's Cool For Cats. To the dogs: 'Come on now, one song about a kitty cat.. there are some nice cats out there" WDOG apologize for playing a song about cats, 'so much for diversity, equity and inclusion.' as dogs growl.
00:55 'Now that that's done, let's move on and forget it' into Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
00:58 Barking Heads - This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around.

01:28 By the way, which one is.. Too many rum and cokes. Freak Like Me by Sugarbabes with 'It's all about the dog in me' lyric.
01:33 I think the show is over, you might want to tune to another
01:34 carrier off
Station comes on with robot voice to advertise to tune to mediumwave for a test, it doesn't seem like WDOG's signal. AM and then upper sideband.

Nice stable signal for shortwave, like listening to a station on the AM broadcast band tonight. S-7-S-8. 5 khz audio bandwidth, with what looks like a smooth low pass roll-off in the high frequencies. Many barks and howls throughout the show.
1979, that's my Year Of The Dog too! Great show, especially that the signal was nice tonight, and I was glad to hear this classic broadcaster.
