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.

0256 S5 and occasionally getting knocked out by digital signals here on Long Island - Billy Joel Piano Man
0259 Animals - House of the Rising Sun. Signal picking up a bit. Strongest on my end fed by far. It must have a lobe in the right direction.
