SINPO: 44423

I tuned in to WEGP for a discussion of the "Hebrew Torah", the Sumerian texts, DNA and genetics, and evolution.  There was an announcement of "Coast to Coast AM.com" with a brief musical interlude.  An advertisement for a clothing store followed (though at this point, fading kicked in to some extent).

A station ID "Talk of the County, 1390 WEGP" and a time check at 2:30 AM followed.  Steve Rappaport then gave a report about Steve Jobs' passing away and about President Obama's job creation bill, mentioning "Fox News".  A weather report ensued, with another station ID, mentioning "Aroostook County".  "Be Well, Be Inspired" was then presented (and more fading).  A KFC advertisement came next, before fading caused a loss of useful signal.
                                    

The signal was fairly strong at times, but there was some discernible interference and noise behind the signal.  As stated, there was persistent fading.

 A short clip of the transmission with station ID can be accessed here.
(May need to increase the volume control on your computer.)

The station’s web site is linked here.

Here is a virtual screenshot of the receiver (actually an ICOM PCR-1000
with a loop antenna aimed for NE/SW signals; this signal was 90° off that target)

I sent a request for a QSL via U.S. mail on October 11, 2011.
I will post it here as soon as it arrives.
