Wow, I never pick up BSR this clearly, at a solid SINPO=44444, and even better at times.

213- YL IDs, with email address for eQSLs.
213- "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh.
217- "River Deep, Mountain High" by The Supremes.
221- YL IDs ("from some wire thrown up in the trees") over music with bowling ball sound effects.
221- "Fire On The Mountain" by Grateful Dead. Now SINPO=55544, incredibly clear and strong here.
224- "Mountain Song" by Jane's Addiction.
228- OM IDs over music with frequency and then bowling ball sound effects.
228- "Sugar Mountain" (live) by Neil Young.
234- "The Mountain's High" by Dick and Dee Dee.

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
