Here's what we heard this past week at the really spiffy Pop Shop Radio world monitoring station in Hope BC. Hi-Lites include a resuscitated R Habana Cuba, PBS Nei Menggu, and several BBCs

First snow of the season here in #HopeBC, sort of. Picture is of Hope Mountain on the south side of town, with snow at about 1800 metres. Thacker Mountain to the east also has snow at that level. Just rain at ground level. @yvrwxwatcher.bsky.social

Hey gang! You won't want to miss this!

R Habana Cuba came back to life last night. Signal was good, audio was crap. Line-up was Ed Newman with News, Music with a Message featuring The Doors, talk about US policy against Cuba, Central & South America, & Havana Portraits about Ernest Hemingway.

Looks like a good signal for this week's @popshopradio.bsky.social via WRMI 5950, but it did drop off a bit during the digital data segment. Looking forward to hearing Lawrence Welk's take on Green Tambourine, lol.

Ray Stevens-Mr Businessman
Monument 45-1083 (USA 🇺🇸 ) 1968

Ray Stevens, is an Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and comedian. He was born in Clarkdale, Georgia, near the city of Atlanta. He attended college as a business major, but switched to music before dropping out to pursue his musical interests.

Signing to Prep records in 1957 at age 18, he released his first single, a country/ rockabilly song called Silver Bracelet. It, and subsequent singles failed to chart. It wasn't until 1961 that he cracked the Hot 100 with his novelty record Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills on Mercury records, a song that had the longest title to ever hit the Hot 100.

While he is well known for his hit novelty records such as Ahab the Arab, Gitarzan and The Streak, Ray Stevens also had a serious side. His 1968 recording of Mr Businessman is a satirical take on the rat-race that drives the greed of big business. While the record cracked the top 30 in the USA and top 10 in Canada, it is rarely heard on oldies radio perhaps due to the bean counting businessmen who run corporate radio today.

Chart Action:
US Hot 100 🇺🇸 : #28
Canada 🇨🇦 : #7
Australia 🇦🇺 : #33

Looks like you also had the same issues with image 11 that we all seem to have had with transmissions from WRMI. It has to b be something with their audio processing. Good job though overall!

@popshopradio.bsky.social Last night's Radiogram image as received in northern Florida, USA.
I enjoyed the variety of songs! Michael Parks, now that goes back a ways!

WRMI's signal strength took a hit halfway through the data segment.

Text decoding of the backstory and playlist was 100%.

@popshopradio.bsky.social Oct 5, 2026, 12:46 PM

Hmm --- yep same prob here with my 'local' reception
