Strong signal tonight with good copy in Nebraska.
"I Got the World on a String," It's a Wonderful World." and "The Whole World Is Singing My Song."
As others have mentioned audio has a "watery" quality.  
Strong storm activity tonight affecting reception, still good show tonight.

Drake R8 was sitting on 6940 when I came into room at 0035utc and heard old Vaudville tune "sittin' on top of the world" followed by "I got the world on a string" then woman singing "wonderful world" then Wolverine Radio ID, poor/weak and fluttery as if there was a solar flare, I have never heard wolverine this bad before, it's usually strong and clear. R8 & dipole.

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
