  Mark Koernke discussed micro FM broadcasting history, tracing its origins to Vietnam-era guerrilla radio operations and the innovation of garage-based radio stations in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He provided technical guidance on setting up micro FM stations, including antenna construction using glass insulators and guy wires. The show covered coffee supply chain issues, particularly the disappearance of Ethiopian coffee from U.S. markets, and announced upcoming signal flash alert tests scheduled for Friday evening and Saturday across the Great Lakes region using 6-meter and CB radio. Koernke also explored thematic elements in classic rock music from the 1960s-70s, particularly Bob Seger's "Night Moves" album and Johnny Horton's pro-American Civil War and Revolutionary War songs, encouraging listeners to rediscover overlooked album tracks with patriotic messaging.
