Utility station with zzzzzt, zzzzzt sound making difficult copy again
Possible ID @ 0335, but couldn't make it out.

0441 - the ute station has finally left the freq. hearing Dr. Benway

Just tried it at 0304utc, barely hear a carrier in ssb mode.

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

 I am hearing this station for the past few minutes but there is interference tonight not only here but all down the frequencies! I am hearing CCR at this moment at 03:53UTC on AM mode but there is noise here in Western South Carolina! Signal is good around S9 now sounds like a 70's hit Get Ready I think Rhythm and Blues song!  Hearing Mississippi Queen now at 04:18UTC signal is fair with interference but the signal is getting here in South Carolina hearing a male in the background!
