Tuned in at 0114 utc on Traverse City MI sdr with fair S9+10 to S9+20 signal, song "old fashioned love song" then Beach Boys "little old lady from Pasadena", Ballsmacker ID then "my old school", variety of songs with the word "old" in them,

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
