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

0107 - 0201 Mostly barely audible and very noisy (QRN) conditions.  0201 ID and eQSL offer befor pin strike sfx., 'Take the Long Way Home' - Supertramp, 'The Way You Do the Things You Do' - The Temptations, 'Tha't the Way I've Always Heard it Should Be' - Carly Simon, ?, 'Go Your Own Way' - Fleetwood Mac.  "Way" theme for the music tonight.

S7 - 8 at 0236.  Good audio but still lots of QRN make listening difficult.
