Tuned in at 2155utc, fair to poor sig with some QRM, at 2206 played an audio clip from the Woody Allen movie Annie Hall(?) where he has a flashback to primary school when he kissed a female classmate who yells "eew he kissed me, he kissed me, eew" and the teacher reprimands him (I have that movie on laserdisc). R8 & dipole. (edit) variety of rock music most of which I never heard before. Apparently off at 2252utc.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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
