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

Hi,

Heard this one at 2305 UTC, after about 10 min of trace/dead carrier on 6850,4 kHz,
here in W. part of France, with music, 2306 first ID(no copy), 2307 ID as Cool AM Radio,
then music again, but soon it sounded so monotonous (lost under utility??) that I tuned out at 2317.

23.05 UTC program started then
solid carrier but too early for better reception,
music detected also but too weak to decrypt here.
00.10 UTC carrier vanished after 5 minutes of dead air

QTH: North Western Germany, into my Perseus WebSDR again
