Tuned in at 0105 on Brookfield WI sdr with fair/poor S9-S9+10 signal and ute qrm mostly on upper side, various tunes about working, at 0113 "take this job and shove it" by Johnny Paycheck,
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

No RX here in  EU /netherlands due to massive digi signal from 6950 to 6970  which is 9+ 30 dB... >:(
So..no luck here today!

Update !
At 0200 utc  digi signal is gone now!

Signal is S7 and very noisy due to lightning storms..
Cannnot identify the songs; too much noise/crackling !

Hope its better next time!
