Tuned In at 2338 utc on Traverse City MI sdr with fair-poor S9 to S9+10+ signal, blues music, at 2351 said "this is Captain Morgan Shortwave" along with Twilight Zone music, more blues tunes, off air suddenly at 0001, thanks for the tunes.

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
