Very strong at 05:16 UTC here in Victoria, BC.  They jumped suddenly about 30 minutes ago from 6925 (and there was someone else just above 6925 causing a het).  RTN is always one of the strongest pirates in this neck of the woods.  73,  Walt

Heard it as QRM earlier under Radio Free Whatever on 6925 then it switched to 6940. Very weak here, under low noise floor. Earlier I heard pop tunes from 70's & 80's.

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
