S-5 to S-7 peaks and noisy here at 0146 UTC.  Some kind of comedy in front of a live audience, but readability is hit and miss at my noisy QTH.

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

0157 just getting back from Memorial Day activities, hearing what sounds like standup from a man with a Southern accent. Not very strong, SIO 222 at best.
0215 tuned over from RFW to hear the end of an SSTV, and apparently QRT after that. Ah well. I got this recorded and can play it back later.

Picked up @ 0201 with strong signal with man telling long story.
Caught partial SSTV image of squirrel hanging delicately upside down "having a bad day."
S/off @ 0215 with sstv image with station ID as Skippy Radio.
Thanks for the show!
