 ;D  343 signal and some frequency shifting and intrusions from something? 0214Z Signal seems unstable hard to tune.
       Seems as if FM ing or maybe in UTE interference?
       Getting best @ 6954.970
      0233- Jagger
      0242-SSTV just above noise, with some UTE intrusions

   Thanks Skippy radio.. the conditions tonight were far from even fair i.e. poor.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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
