Very weak in NH, down in the noise most of the time. Too weak to copy the op when he's talking.

Heard "Coming into Los Angeles", "Don't You Make Me High (Don't You Feel My Leg)", "Don't Bogart That Joint", Paul Harvey doing a bong ad?  Other nice boogie, ragtime, jive tunes...
Jimmy Durante "Inka-Dinka-Doo", "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better"

Great signal from Doctor Benway in NH this evening, mostly hanging around S9 and sounding good.

This was a nice collection of old broadcast clips celebrating "the tenth anniversary of the return of Undercover Radio".

Keep up the good work Doctor and have a happy 2013.

A bit of history, Charlie's namesake was the Hallicrafters HT-45, quite a chunk of iron from back in the 60's. I remember it from old QST ads and found a couple of nice pix after doing a bit of searching around the web:
