0145 - CW ID - Skippy Radio
More Eddie Van Halen guitar soloing
0151 - another clear SKIPPY RADIO CW ID.

Skippy Radio, 6955.26 ish USB, 0140, 8/1/16.  Hard rock.  
Skippy CW ID over start of next song, another shred type guitar solo, CW ID, 0152 off.

My mistake earlier ... listened to the recording.

Kind of hard to peak the signal.
