SINPO=13121 unfortunately here.

101- "I Know What Boys Like" by The Waitresses. Can only make out the distinctive tune from my 80s memory, as QRN is very heavy at this QTH.
103- "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" by John Denver. Again, can only ID song because of it's distinctive tune, barely cutting through the noise.

132- "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" by Queen. Still very tough copy here.

Tuned in at 0128utc, weak signal with low noise, heavy metal rock,

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
