Listening via the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C., as we're still in full daylight out here near Seattle, and it's just barely audible via SDRs near the Rockies ...

0052 UTC: WTF Radio jingle ID, then OM DJ on the mic (audio seems a bit muffled or low).
0053 UTC: "Down to the Waterline" and then "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits.
0105 UTC: WTF ID, OM on mic introducing next song by The Cars.
0109 UTC: "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars (like the previous songs, this sounds like a live version), followed by another Cars song.
0119 UTC: ID by DJ, then a "What's the Frequency, Kenneth" reference before doing into a live version of R.E.M.'s "Orange Crush," a favorite song of mine!
0123 UTC: Jingle ID again "What's the frequency?" I'll admit, that's not what I thought WTF stood for.
0123 UTC: Another live version of an R.E.M. song.

Thanks for all the music tonight, WTF!
