On with Russian National Anthem.  S9.
0014 - Dick Weed explaining why he is starting up so late.
0016 - into music, but signal taking a big fade, down to S3 and fair copy now.
0035 - still there, but in the noise, poor copy.

Tuned in momentarily at 0038utc, weak signal, R8 and CB antenna which works surprisingly good on 7mhz, tuned back to Wolverine on 6940.
Edit: At 0110utc fair/weak sig, R-2000 and dipole. (The R8 and CB antenna in use for Wolverine)

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. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
