Can't make out song - in the static to much at S6

2:42 utc  CW ID again 2 times - I think it is KCPR?  
2:42 utc UNID song
2:45 utc Kansas "Dust In The Wind"
2:49 utc  CW ID  -.-  -.-.  .--.  .-.  KCPR  good copy this time..
2:49  Steely Dan "Dirty Work"  temporary - 30 seconds or so RTTY sig in your lower side band
........
3:03 utc - Scorpions  "Winds of Change" fades up and down between S6 - S8
.........
3:07 - 3:11:40 utc - long running SSTV but it will not decode here. have audio recording - will try to decode again later..
3:11:40  Longer CW message - will have to go back and listen again to see what this was. --- Off Air now at 3:14 utc

All I can hear from the final CW was "Drink Your Ovaltine"  , Message was sent two times but the rest has too many fades and static crashes.
Partial SSTV decode sent in  Scottie DX mode -

At 0242utc I got nothing, not a hint of carrier in ssb mode. NE Illinois.
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
