It's S5 here, weak but copyable. Copy is better in USB mode for me

0030 - Dickweed ID
0031 - synthy New age type tune
0039 -- signal up to S7 now ---
0042 -- silence of sorts --
0047 - still synthy new age type music - signal back to S5
0100 - back to silence



Thanks for the tunes Dickweed, and yesterday's e-QSL !!

Tuned in at 0043utc, hear soft rock/pop under tons of static from storms in area. I had to select narrow filter. Tried ssb but not as good.

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

Better than past nights, Pretty good S9 carrier, but audio is buried in the noise. As another poster pointed out, audio seems better (Louder) on USB mode. 0052 UTC

S8, some peaks to S9. Static crashes are a problem. Ambient chill-out type music at 0053 UTC.
