Tuned in at 0050 utc on Barrington Hills IL sdr with fair S7 to S9 signal, hear Orson Well's 1939 "war of the worlds" broadcast, at 0054 "2X2L calling CQ, is anybody there?", then CBS announcer saying "you are listening to the Mercury Theater presentation of H. G. Welles war of the worlds", Orson Wells as professor Pierson narrating what he has seen, at 0113 SSTV/FAX, sound of chickens clucking. Thanks for the broadcast.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
