I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires.

0129z - S9+10 into Central Missouri.  44334

Nice audio.

0136z - ID = Ballsmacker Radio

0142z = ID= BallSmaker Radio

Since the songs seem to reference the word sugar, I guess the theme is sugar.

Thanks for the show.

QSL's always appreciated.
