Post by: William Hassig on December 28, 2024, 0212 UTC: Tuned in at 0208 on Brookfield WI sdr with fair S9-S9+10 signal, pop music, at 0215 tuned in locally but too much neighborhood noise, at 0216 "all I want for xmas is my 2 front teeth" Spike Jones, more xmas tunes, at 0231 faded down to weak noisy S7

Post by: N9JL on December 28, 2024, 0221 UTC: Really booming into Will County, Illinois. I'm listening with a 6m dipole 10 feet AGL.

Enjoying a rousing rendition of "All I want for Christmas is my favorite two front ;D teeth".
