Tuned in at 0109utc, fair sig with light static, Irish tunes both fast and slow, R2000 & dipole.
Some utility interference. Four SSTV/FAX, one G rated, one PG13 rated and two NC17 rated.

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
