About S5-S7 at 0128 UTC. Fading and static are complications. But I can copy it.

6950.65am, 7-8-13, tuned in at 0116utc, poor much static, truly strange programming, exact same freq as The Crystal Ship back on Wednesday evening utc 7-4-13 at 0158utc.

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

SDR recording catch. 0110z sign on with an S8 signal.

Great to finally hear KBOX, somehow I had always missed it when it was on the air before.
