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

0154 Spun the loop around 90 degrees, and RTN popped up above the noise floor.  Still tough copy, but much better than listening with the loop in its usual position.

0154 ID and addy
0202 seeing some nice looking thumpage on the SDR!

Thanks RTN!

Some music was received here. Also this SSTV I had to force my SSTV program to receive it from my sdr recording because it didn't register it automatically.
