0203: Music is audible but the noise caused by the utility station is just killing the transmission.

Tune in 0220z
Sig is S9 - BUT -
Broadband Digital Sig 6950-6962 KHz interfering heavily.
Just able to hear the music using USB helps eliminate some of the interference

Would be fine without the ute and really not too bad on Milford PA KiwiSDR even with it, but below 6945 or above 6965 they'd be a force. Audio is excellent.
