Anyone get an ID?
Kind of in the mud here in South central lower Michigan, but clear enough to ID two songs:
0308 Eddie Money "Give Me Some Water"  and
0311 "On the Dark Side" (John Cafferty)
and the SSTV of the buxom woman with the striped bikini top.

Was this Pee Wee? Or Skippy still? Or someone else?
DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay

QSLs appreciated! radioguy73@gmail.com

Noted on the SDR recording from 0157. Recognized some AC/DC, but signal was never better than fair except for a few peaks. SSTV images couldn't be fully copied for decoding. Thanks for the show!
