5050 AM
SINPO=34333, a bit noisy here, but very solid signal.
027- "Black Hole Sun" (demo version), by Soundgarden.
029- OM with deep voice, IDs something "Radio."
030- "Sultans of Swing" (sounds like an alt version from the standard), by Dire Straits.
035- "Once I Had A Love" (another alt version) by Blondie.

5060 AM
SINPO=34333 still, I'd say.
157- "Black Hole Sun" (demo version), by Soundgarden.
203- OM on the mic, IDs.
203- "Sultan's Of Swing" (demo version), but Dire Straits.

Program is clearly repeating...Thanks for the show!

0106 - Smashing Pumpkins '1979' at tune-in. Very good signal, and great song! Thanks Demo Radio!

0111 - Instrumental music.
0115 "Demo Radio" ID followed by a song with an OM vocalist. (Very familiar voice but I can't place it.) Cover (?) of 'Take the Money and Run.'
0119 - Fleetword Mac "Go Your Own Way.' (Live or a cover version?)
0123 - This is the (?) Man and this is Demo Radio with all your favorite songs," with (live) Thin Lizzy's 'The Boys Are Back in Town.' (SINPO = 45444)
0128 - Another live one: Paul Simon's "Me and Julio.'
0131 - OM ann. with "Free Bird! Free Bird!" Into the actual (live?) song quickly.
0136 - Upon a return from the kitchen, Cindy Lauper's 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun.'
0146 - The Who's 'Baba O'Rielly'
0142 - "Demo Radio" ID followed by 'Closing Time.' Still a very good signal.
0142 - "Demo Radio" ID followed by Closing Time. Still a very good signal.
