Tuned in at 0146, very weak under powerline buzz.
Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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

0233 UTC: Just tuned in and I could hear that piano interval signal BallSmacker uses directly out here in both LSB and USB just before the signal went off. Sorry I missed the program!

Heard them announce an email for reception reports so I sent one in. Received eQSL tonight from them... Their email reply had the following message:

"Thanks for tuning us in and your reception report.  Look for us most Friday nights at 9PM EDT on the 69's.  We now have a website with show archives at BallSmacker.net   We have a contest with a $250 prize, listen to win!  Here's an eQSL!"
