I see it on the scope, looks like a carrier, perhaps not, to weak to tell. Rare audio pops out now and then. 73

I'm not sure. It seemed to appear out of the blue loud enough and visible enough all at once around 0113 that I could make out a station, at least on my radio. Might be a continuation. Reception even of BallSmacker on 6960 is really bad compared to usual tonight.

Tuned in at 0200 on Brookfield WI sdr with weak S5 signal, occasional audio, reception tonight sucks due to powerful CME from sun.
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
