S7-S9 on my Yaesu but AM signal cut down by static and band noise so spotty copy through the noise. "Rock" n theme for tonight. Post 9pm cst: 6960 AM disappeared in the noise but 4030 USB appeared out of the noise and now is steady S9 with solid copy! Sometimes reaching 10 over here in Wisconsin!

Tuned in at 0106 utc on Brookfield WI sdr with poor/weak S7 to S9+ signal, heard what sounded like a Jerry Lee Lewis tune under the mud, variety of pop-rock tunes with the word "rock" in them,

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

Barely a carrier on 6960 AM via home rx and eastern SDR as of 0140 UTC.

0203 UTC: Fair via Ohio SDR, Billy Joel, Ball Smacker ID, Stray Cats, but that SDR is swamped with images. Must be a glitch, that SDR was okay last week.
