S4 or so, beneath the almost constant lightning static.  Mostly poor copy.
0019 - possibly "Ballroom Blitz" in between the S7 static crashes.

Much static and I barely detect carrier in ssb mode. R-2000 and 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

Just brutal conditions tonight. My only copy is by using USB and the music is still really drowned out in static.

Poor signal here in SW PA since about 0015.  Heard "Ballroom Blitz" at 0020, and Kiss at 0034 followed by an ID by M and apparent e-mail addr by W, and promo "Once in a millenium".  0037 M w/e-mail sounding something like ...tcs1.com.  0038 ID "You're listening to ?? on The Crystal Ship", then start of The Eagles, but then went into "Sister Golden Hair" by America.  0043 "Killer Queen", and into "Waterloo" by Abba at 0045.  Very noisy and fady this evening.  2/5/2/3/1-2.  Much better now at 0048 with Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds.  0050 nice ID, SFX w/"Get off my lawn", then into "Leroy Brown".

0052 Finally getting some audio on the NE Pennsylvania SDR. There was a carrier there for the 20 minutes or so from when I first saw this thread and tuned in, until this point. Fading in and out a bit, seeming to indicate a change in conditions underway. Hopefully we'll get some good copy out of this in a few more minutes. Absolutely nada on my home receivers here in Denver.
0113 Condx only a little bit better. Enough to recognize "Dust In The Wind" Kansas.
0132 OM (presumably JP) talking about the sale of Crystal Ship goodies. Which reminds me, I still need to order a mug.
0133 "Magic Man" Heart
