Tuned in at 0203 utc on Barington Hills sdr with weak noisy S5 to S9 signal, rock ballad "2 out of 3 ain't bad",
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

0213 UTC: BallSmacker's signal is weaker than normal and it's a noisy night. Fair amount of fading as well, not real bad but very noticeable.
