Tuned in at 0222 utc on Traverse City MI sdr with noisy S9 to S9+20 signal, song "cherry cherry" under high noise level, going back to 4030.

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

Really tough one tonight...  hint: one "instrument" in common.  Next week 6960KHz is primary.
