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

Awesome signal in the Boston burbs. "Most Friday nights... Ballsmacker Radio" ID at 0237 UTC, then into Marrakesh Express by CSN. Good audio and love seeing pirates on this new popular low band!

Watch laying the claim to schlumpy dipole, Beerus. JTA and Radio Bob fought over that one for years. Mostly about was it a balanced antenna or an unbalanced one? Bob is dead and JTA is still stoned and can't remember what the fight was about. I think they were both unbalanced.
