« on: April 20, 2024, 0058 UTC »
Wildfire IS, assume to be BallSmacker Radio
QRM from SternRadio, who QSYed again to  6946.7 at 0059; in the clear at 0059
0059: ID by YL, then music and heavy QRM from utility station on 6961.7 and then on 6960, I think
0103: in the clear again with "That Smell" - Lynard Skynyrd
0105: "Got to Get You Into My Life" - Beatles
0113: 55545, S9+10; "Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd

Interval up on 6960, while Sternradio was still on 6961.666 AM. Turn on that receiver first Ballsmacker!

About 443 nr Toronto with Boston (Smokin').
Ballsmacker ID
Pink Floyd (Comfortably Numb)

The overall I'm giving a "3" only because of the distortion and bass intermod. The signal itself is reasonably strong at +10 over.
 Thank you for the great tunes!!

Tuned in at 0134 on Barrington Hills IL sdr with fair/poor S7-S9 signal, soft pop music, at 0136 ID by woman, bowling lane sound, ay 0200 switched to East Falmouth MA sdr with fair/good S9-S9+10 signal, urban contemporary tune, at 0206 "up in smoke" by Cheech and Chong, at 0208 "Puff the magic dragon" by Peter Paul & Mary, apparently a pot themed program, thanks for the nice program.

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
