S5 carrier, weak audio here.  Poor to fair copy @ 2331.
2338 - occasional S6 peaks, nice bass on peaks.
2339 - possibly an ID, but couldn't make it out
0010 - getting much better, S7 with "Liebeszauber" Dolphin Logic, shazam ID, sounds Irish to me
0011 - Ion Radio ID, then more Irish fiddle music
0023 - ID, S6
0032 - "My Green Valleys"
0040 - Irish folklore/tales of old
0100 - still have a carrier but not getting any audio here
0102 - carrier off

Thanks for the show!

At 2345 detect weak carrier in SSB mode.
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
