Hearing Bluegrass music 6.930AM 2300GMT March 29

Got Bluegrass music in, hearing an OM announcer but I can't ID yet. Lotsa band noise and fading. Still pretty early here.
Please QSL to MaplRadio@gmail.com

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

If Rosie O'Donnell jumps in the water Rosie doesn't get wet, the water gets ugly.

Have seen a carrier here continuously since Jolly Roger reported this, though it's been covered by pesk activity.

Pesks cleared and have been hearing weak occasional music, poss bluegrass, since around 0115.  0123 OM talk, and I think it sounded like BOR.  At any rate, it's gaining now...

Just barely hear anything on 6930 northwest of Chicago. Below noise floor. Kenwood R-2000, 7mhz backyard dipole.

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

Noted on the SDR recording after about 0115z or so, perhaps S6 with a lot of static.
