Managed to catch WDOG again on 6955 kHz USB, beginning at approximately 9:00 PM EDT on June 27, 2026. The Professor presented a fantastic sampling of music from 1978 and 1965. The 1978 set included Cheap Trick, The Cars, the Ramones, Dire Straits, The Who, and the Blues Brothers. After the familiar “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” transition, the Professor announced that we were going to explore 1965. That portion included the Beatles, the Temptations, the Lovin’ Spoonful, the Animals, the Byrds, Bob Dylan, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, and the Strangeloves. There was also more very serious reporting. Medical researchers warned that you can lose an arm at any moment. Nintendo announced that Pokémon are real and can be eaten. Listeners were invited to celebrate Bring Your Daughter to War Day. There were reports of megachurches beginning missile testing and more! I trust WDOG to bring me up-to-date news! The program included spoken and CW WDOG identifications, an invitation to visit the snack bar during intermission, and the usual wonderfully strange atmosphere. Reception was strong throughout the evening on the 71-foot random wire and RTL-SDR Blog V4, and I recorded the complete show. I am especially glad I stayed until the end. WDOG engineer Freddie, brother of the famous Nelton, came on. He passed along a message from the Professor: “Say hi to Ellie, Ellievision, if she is still listening.” I was still listening. Shoutout to WDOG engineer Freddie! That man sounded sleepy. Me, I am a night owl, tuning around and looking for something weird on the waterfall. Till next time, 73!
