I can hear it under the noise.

0044-45 signal occasionally rising out of the noise enough to hesr a Three Dog Night tune
0050 sounds like the Doors now, don't recognize which song.
0052 Space Oddity, Bowie. Still a tough copy but getting bits of it. SINPO 23322
0054-55 OM speaking but nothing can be understood.
0058 starting to get harmonics from local AM stations. Ah well. Thanks to JP for the show!

0146 giving it another try, this time on the PL600, getting Zep "Dazed and Confused." I got that record when I was 9.
0050 CSN, Before I Go
0053 sign off

Thanks for the show!
