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

Via a recording, mostly unusable due to an uncharacteristically weak signal.  30% noise reduction helped a bit, but after 0218 it was unusable.
