0045 SSTV
0047 "In A Gadda da Vida" sounds like a metal band covering it
0051 Damn Skippy SSTV
0053 instrumental track from Van Halen's "Fair Warning" LP. I forget what it's called but it's the second to last song on that album.
0055 a bit of the last track on Fair Warning before the op switched it to "Go Your Own Way" Fleetwood Mac
0058 next song but I can't quite place it. Not strong enough to Shazam.
0102 "Old Man" Neil Young

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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
