At the best times it's coming in clear and S9, but I'm dodging either interference or a ute that drifts up and down. Still, good audio and a good show. Thanks Mr. Poet.

Just heard ID.

Tuned in at 2355utc, very weak, barely heard "99 red Balloons", now playing a heavy metal tune. R2000 & temp repaired dipole, tcsshortwave@gmail.com. (edit) I no longer detect carrier in ssb mode. Off air?

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires.
