2345 "Sounds of Silence" Simon and Garfunkle. Good signal, 433.
2347 "Hurt" Johnny Cash
2350 "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" OM vocals (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole per shazam)
     signal seems overmodulated, giving distorted quality to song
2354 "Please Don't Judas Me" Nazareth per shazam

Thanks for the show!

23:52 "Over the rainbow"

23:55 Nazareth "Please don't Judas Me"

00:03 More Nazareth "Love Leads to Madness"

00:06 CW - "X" (something) "2"
Steady S7 signal in CNY, but USB modulation has some distortion, and occasional audio dropouts.

00:10 Neil Young "Old Man" sounds like a live performance recording

Dropping tuned freq to 6954.98 improves USB demod
