SINPO: 35322
I tuned in to KWKH and heard the song "Straight Tequila Nights" by John Anderson, followed by a station ID "Home of Legends, KWKH" and commercials for fingerprint medallions at Heart and Soul and "mud-flying fun" in Jacksonville, Texas. (I Googled this town: it's about 110 miles due west of Shreveport.) At this point, severe fading kicked in and the signal was lost.
After a few minutes, the signal returned with commercials for the Louisiana Gold Market and Metro PCS. Another station ID was announced, then into another country song, which was mostly drowned out by fading. "Mama He's Crazy" by the Judds faded back in clearly.

The signal alternated from strong to non-existent due to the severe fading. There was no interference from other stations, but static and "white noise" took over when the signal faded down.
Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver (actually an ICOM PCR-1000

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on October 12, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
