0215: Man On the Moon by R.E.M. Weak just above the noise.
0222: Hey Jude by The Beatles.
0254: Enough music broke through the noise for Shazam to come up with She's So High by Tal Bachman.

350W (1400W PEP) on 6960AM, 100W PEP on 4032USB, low SWR on both antennas.

It's like the sky forgot to reflect the signal!  Barely present on VT SDR or Washington DC SDR on either frequency.

Worst propagation yet.

Full power and good SWR here.

You can join the stream at https://ballsmacker.net/ but that is over the air (as always) as well so who knows how that is coming in?
