BallSmacker Radio 6960 AM 0056 UTC 22 JUL 2023
« on: July 22, 2023, 0057 UTC »
BallSmacker Radio 6960.0 kHz AM 00:56 UTC 22 JUL 2023

00:56 UTC - Carrier is up; nice clean S8 signal with some fading;
00:58 UTC - Interval signal;
01:00 UTC - Broadcast begins;
02:27 UTC - Suddenly went off the air for a few seconds, most likely to listen to the "sound effects jammer" on frequency;
02:41 UTC - Suddenly went off the air for a few seconds again;
02:51 UTC - SSTV;
02:54 UTC - End of broadcast.

Jammer ... the frequency is all yours to play with! You are no competition against BallSmacker's signal.

Monitoring also available via the live stream: BallSmacker Radio
eQSL and reception report via the e-mail address provided at BallSmacker Radio

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

Hitting close to a S-20 on peaks on kiwi w/ the 120 ft. T2FD in Westminster, MD. with the Rev. MC Hammer and "Can't Touch This" "Hammah time" LOL! I wonder if he wears those parachute pants while he's preaching these days?

Belly rubbin' song I can't remember, I always thought it was cat's fighting? "We May Never Pass This Way Again." Good, this song was bad enough the first time around. Play The Jam's "This The Modern World". Same time period as that last tune with a lot more piss to it.

Stray Cats? You don't have the real deal like Billy Riley or Warren Smith?
