Catching OTCR here with a S6  just above the noise and The Who's "Magis Bus" playing at 0029 into what sounded like a ID bit faded at 0031. Wishing it was just a little better. :-\

Barely hear talk and music under tons of static. R2000 & dipole.
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
