Tuned in at 0045, hear song "green tambourine", poor with much static from passing storms, now song "yummy yummy I got love in my tummy" (I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole), R2000 & dipole. (edit) just heard thunder in distance, disconnected antenna and turned off.

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

Hooked up the antenna after the severe storms went thru and catching The Crystal Ship here with a S8-9 doing his "Bubblegum Express Show" but getting hammered by the storm static close at the same level making it almost unlistenable. :-\ Bummer JP.
