Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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

Tuned in during middle of program about UK Pirate Broadcasting in the 60s/70s.
Mentioned Radio Jackie, Radio London, etc.
s9+10 0n south Beverage.
s9+20 on Verticals, but SNR not as good.
Very clean, crisp audio. Can hear some processing, but no pumping. Not too bad.
(LoL, one of the Radio Jackie ops says a police officer in the raiding party had actually one a prize on the station the day before!!)

Listening off and on since 0116.  Mostly hearing talking although can't understand the topic.  0138 came up enough to tell 2 men were talking about British radio, then faded back down. 

Walked away to do something else and came back at 0219 to their being off.

S6 - 7 but noisy with fading.  Overall very poor reception.
