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

Heard way up north in my off-grid cottage.  Coordinates  N54.04, W131.95    Here's what the logbook says:

6956 UNITED STATES Pirate Damn Skippy Radio, Jan 1 0106 - The second pirate of the evening found was Damn Skippy Radio, heard at good level from 01:06 tune-in.  Mostly the old pirate band here is full of utility stations which makes it challenging to find an open frequency.  On top of that is OTH Radar heard during much of the day!  SSTV image just before 01:09 UTC, and multiple ones after that.  Final one seemed to be about 01:58. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC)

Would love an eQSL to CANSWL (at) GMail (dot) com     73! 
Listening to the amazing world of radio since 1967

eQSLs always appreciated to CANSWL@GMail.com
