Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, CB antenna, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

0215: Getting an S5 with moderate QRN on the Elmira NY KiwiSDR.  Hearing oldies and the howling dogs.  I *think* I heard an OM announcing "Radio 66 FM."

0233:  OM is offering his puppies EQSL's when reporting to QSLShortwave@protonmail.com.

SDR recording catch, good copy here from 0200 UTC sign on with "Are Friends Electric" and CW ID.

Thanks for the broadcast - always great to hear pirate activity just above the MW band!
