At 0038 song "I'll be seeing you."

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

Fair but weak signal cutting through the static,
Heard Blue Skies into more music I can't easily copy because of noise levels.

Carrier there but no audio.  :'(
0036 audio starting to come up but it's a rough copy.
0044 getting enough audio to ID "Memories of You" Benny Goodman and hear Radio Casablanca ID with email.
0045 faded again
0150 still listening, starting to get at/above the noise floor as it nears dark.

Radio Casablanca, 6940 AM, 0025, 6.1.18.  "Blue skies," "My heart belongs to Tangerine," similar era music including "Stormy weather," 0044 ID.

Initially S8, then abruptly dropped to S7 and much weaker at 0030.

i'm hearing this on my 11m mobile with a transverter using a simple wire groundplane antenna hanging from a tree limb roughly 8ft off ground at the bottom . that puts the tip at roughly 16ft. all held in place by paracord and rocks. ;-)

0021:  Fair signal just above the noise.
0025:  Quick peak. Didn't ID music.
0030:  Inaudible.
0037:  Faint music under the static.


ICOM IC-R8600 fed into a 41' RF Systems MLBA-MK1 long wire antenna running vertically at approximately 45 degrees from roof to ground.

Faint music heard but not really clear. Okay, he's up on 6940.2 AM. Weak signal that fades out often. Still sounds like it's drifty.
