Ball Smacker Radio 4030.0 kHz AM 01:53 UTC 11 DECEMBER 2021

01:53 UTC - Carrier is up. Monitoring via the Laurel Springs KiwiSDR as there is no direct signal to my location again this week;
01:58 UTC - Interval signal;
02:00 UTC - Broadcast begins, weak and barely readable on the Laurel Springs KiwiSDR. This frequency is very noisy tonight on this KiwiSDR;
02:25 UTC - Switched over to the live stream via https://ballsmacker.net/ (https://ballsmacker.net/)
03:33 UTC - SSTV;
03:34 UTC - End of broadcast.

Thank you for the broadcast despite the poor conditions.


Toronto, Ontario Canada

 Thanks for streaming the show!  Way too much storm noise here in northwest Alabama to hear anything on shortwave tonight
