Ballsmacker Radio at 0105 UTC on 6960 kHz AM near Detroit Michigan.  Lots of QSB here tonight.  Longwire and vertical at 30 feet.  S-7 to S-9 using Icom IC-R8600.  Audio is strong, but local QRM.  Sucks, but can't concentrate on the theme.  Getting better signal overall as the night comes.  0200 UTC still listening.
