I have it with a good signal, noise is down.  The first good signal for me this night.  Playing Elton John Rocket Man.  Thanks for the show.
My guess on tonight's theme, songs with man in them.
0114 Emerson, Lake and Palmer Lucky Man.

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

Noise levels higher than normal (minus 115 dB for the background stuff) and Ballsmacker is only about 35 dB above that.  Occasional fades to unusable.  Nice selection of music.
