22:18 UTC - Weak readable with fading and keeps getting clobbered by the "energy swath" of a High Frequency Trading (HFT) station;
22:20 UTC - Changed frequency to 6865 to elude the "energy swath";
22:21 UTC - Changed frequency to 6860. You are good there and away from the "energy swath".

Tuned in at 2222 utc on Barrington Hills IL sdr with weak S7 to S9 signal, operator had just moved down to 6860 to escape big wide noise centered on 6890khz, heard "80's Forever Radio" then more rock music,

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
