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

Got something on this frequency, getting it in AM though here in Ohio. Using SDR, don't have an s-meter.

Can't make out enough lyrics to identify a song. Can't find the lyrics to any of these songs.


I'm getting a different station

Lots of QSB here -- sometimes pounding in, sometimes down in the mud.  Superb audio quality is very listenable even during the deep fades.

The signal started out as fair here a while ago but is improving, even though we're still in nearly full daylight out here on the West Coast. There is some interference from VHF paging bleedover and other various noises here.

I tuned in earlier (and I'm listening to it right now). I heard "Ghost Town" by The Specials. Right now, "Is There Something I Should Know" by Duran Duran.

But, the signal is fairly muddy and fading in and out.
