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

S5 here at 0308 UTC with a funky percussion beat that went on for a long time
0325 UTC "So You Want To Be A Rock N Roll Star"-Byrds
0330 UTC "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey"-Beatles
0334 UTC "I'd Love To Change The World"-Ten Years After
0337 UTC UNID blues/rock tune
0341 UTC UNID blues/rock tune
So far no ID, with silence between songs, but signal is steady here with a few deep fades
0346 UTC Man announcer with a reverb ID "X-L-R-8", into Led Zeppelin-"What Is And What Should Never Be"
(Audio sounds a bit wider than what I'm used to hearing from XLR8!)

at 0345 there was an id "XLR8" but did not sound like the normal id. Maybe because the signal is so weak?

At 4:02 UTC can just hear music deep in the noise. Not clear enough to ID. Can hear "Don't You Want Somebody To Love".  "From The Beginning". Then a song by CCR. And now at 4:15 "Gimme Shelter" .

Signed on with a rant about being on 6950 then into music then a little more talk and off about 5:42 ?

Ah.............. ! It stirs again at 5:47 utc. :)

Yes on again at about 6:06.

XLR8 ID at 6:09. Much stronger signal than the earlier broadcast and no noise on signal. Nice clear audio. On for only a few minutes at a time.

SDR Recorder Catch
At the noise threshold, straining to hear anything.
Couldn't decipher any of the music, but some ID's were heard.

0542 - An XLR8 echo ID rose slightly above the noise.
0641 - ID by OM as: "XLR8"

SDR recording catch. Fairly weak here until a bit after 0400, when the signal picked up. I heard this all the way through the end, so merged the two threads since it was one transmission.
