Tuned in at 0121utc, strong sig but much static from nearby storms. R-2000 & dipole.
(edit) distorted audio makes it difficult to understand what is being said.
(edit 2) switched to usb at 0128utc.
At 0133utc, old song from 1970's called "uneasy rider".

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

Sounds like an old recording of someone talking about modulation and demodulation.  On audio peaks, the transmitter would "pop" and the modulation would quickly drop before swinging back up. Maybe from RF feedback? The op switched to SSB around 0128 or so and the audio is now OK.

UnId, 6950 USB, 4/15/17.  "Uneasy rider," "Black coffee" interrupted in the middle with some CW.  I was distracted with something else and didn't decode the CW.

S5 - 6 in the clear.
