Fair/poor sig with semi rapid fading, played "ballad of the green beret", old style jingles from the 60's, R8 & dipole. (edit) OOPS, I had a feeling this was not a pirate. Thanks, everybody.

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. williamhassig@yahoo.com
