Back @0241 with more Tangerine Dream.
Another ßSTV @ 0248 but did get good capture into rest of Tangerine Dream piece.
Few more Pimeat-themes SSTVs then gone  or s/off at 0304.
Still not sure of what station was.

Tuned in at 0213utc, weak signal under heavy atmospheric noise, sounds like electronic music.
As of 0223utc signal improving. At 0230 SSTV/FAX of a strange picture as seen on HFU, then off.

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

Just tuned in time to hear Pigmeat's request of Tangerine Dream being played.  This is probably the first time I've heard them.  Good signal into SW AL, about an S7 on average.
