Tuned in at 0114utc, weak signal, CW interference, male speaking, pop music, fading in and out, sounds like a Spanish language station.

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

Nice signal here in Georgia, even with thunder storms in the area.
Too bad I only taught the end of the program!
Nice audio, cool guitar solo!
I decoded the last image but can't figure out how to upload it!  Maybe I'm posting too late for that!

Just getting around to listening to the SDR recording now. Mostly a SIO 433 while in AM mode.  Maybe 444 in USB mode.
