Noted on the SDR recording, beginning at 0036. Good signal, some fading (you can see that from the SSTV image). Probably would have boomed in if it were copied after sunset (which was 0230 UTC where I am).

0036 "In The Cold Light of Day" Kevin Thorpe's Out Of The Blue
0042 "The World Is Painted Blue Again" Small Blues Trap
0046 "Voodoo Guitar" The Bluesbones
0053 SSTV
0055 off
All songs ID's using Shazam

Thanks for the show!
