At 0025utc I barely heard Roy Orbison singing "pretty woman" under tons of static from approaching storms. R2000 & dipole.

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

Tuning in at 0100 to a faint, noisy signal which should improve as the night rolls in. (Sunset at least 45 minutes away.)
0152 Still a tough copy but I heard TCS station ID. Good enough for a QSL.  ;D
0201 There goes the sun and hear comes the signal. Still noisy and I'm dealing with some local interference but I can actually hear the music now.  :)
0212 OFF following Ramones, as is customary.

Thanks for the show!
