 ;)  555 signal here on the chicken coop wire. I pondered AM , but SSB, which is the most efficient way. D
       Pet Clark- Don't Sleep in Subway -
       Great Booper Piece started at 2331. Signal S-9 with no Pre-amp so that's -75 dbm, bow-daw-sus
       Hundreds Pounds of Clay- Yeah, I wish I could revisit my age when that one was on AM. 2342 .
       Nice with beat- PRO hits, not pull em out of ass music..
