At 2319utc poor here in Chicagoland (NE Illinois). Hear ominous sounding voice saying broadcasting from (faded out) and gave box 1 Belfast NY, sed "happy Halloween", stereotypical witch laughter.
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
