Announcer said a special E-QSL is available  for this show.  It appears all the songs played have contained the word Easy.  I wonder if that is the clue for the special E_QSL.  Excellent signal here in Oakdale CT.  0119, another song with Easy, Easy Come Easy Go.

Just using a Sangean ATS-909X switching between built-in extendable whip and stock reel antenna
12 miles northwest of Boston
Several songs ID'd by Shazam

Nice job, Ballsmacker

0120 Tuned into a nice steady readable S4 signal
0121 Ball Smacker ID
0124 Easy Money (Billy Joel)
0126 Easy Come, Easy Go (George Strait)

  <listening interrupted>  <damn, I missed Zappa!>

0134 Resumed listening; signal down to a steady, still readable S3
0135 Loving you easy (Zac Brown Band)
0138 Pure and Easy (The Who)
0142 Easy to be Hard (Three Dog Night)
0145                          (Paolo Nutini)

0200 <Either the signal took a nosedive, or Ballsmacker went off the air leaving another, weaker station on frequency.>

"That was easy."  Thanks, Ballsmacker.

- Usually Airspy HF+/SDR Console V3.1
- After the tree guys left, now have a 125 ft wire that goes up to the west from 12 ft to 40ft., then a stretch SE that drops to 20ft termination. I should probably just say "longwire" and not worry about it. Miss that tree.
- Sometimes Sangean ATS-909X with whip and/or stock reel and/or YouLoop
- Remote SDRs only used when signal not present at home QTH, and always noted
- Shazam only used to ID music released after 1992. Mostly.
eQSLs to bfrederi1@verizon.net much appreciated

Peaking S9+ at ~0150z. Audio sounds good. Otherwise, locally, significant static crashing thus far tonight.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)

Send us a reception report email to BallSmacker @ ProtonMail.Net  and you will get the special eQSL.  We watch the forum as well but you must send us an email to get the eQSL.  Just too many otherwise.  We love you all!  Thanks for listening!  Encore show on 4030 USB Saturday 2100 EDT, we think.
