Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

0130 on Traverse City MI sdr with weak noisy S9+10 signal, pop music.
Logged
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.

0136 Strangely, the signal is so weak that it is unreadable here on Long Island. Perhaps the band is running long. Normally Ballsmacker is S9+20.

Lots of bad reports close in, as if the band is long.  Same "typical" setup as most nights tonight...
Kicking it good South of PA....  No good as it got later in NY, NH, VT, ME, PA, MA, CT.
We usually don't start simulcast on 4032 Wide USB until Nov....

Thanks for trying and your comments!  You all are awesome!
