SINPO=35333
2251- "Your Disease" by Saliva.
2252- Dramatic choral rock tune, in the style of Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
2255- OM speaking over music, with fake ad for Rhode Island School of Broadcasting.
2256- OM IDs WREC, followed by OM synth voice IDing Radio Free East Coast.
2257- Fake ad for Pee-Wee Herman movie, in which he drops trow, "Slimy the Buttboy."
2258- OM IDs WREC.
2258- Fake Ad for smuggling (aka import/export).
2259- "Blowin' In The Wind" by Joan Baez.

SINPO=35343
017- Audio clip from an old sitcom, perhaps Leave It To Beaver?
018- Recorded OM station ID. "This concludes another radio broadcast...Thank you for listening." Then YL with repeated "bye-byes" and then a colorful comment about cocktail weenies, I think.
019- "Aliens Exist" by Blink 182.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
