0111 UTC: Just tuned in via D.C. SDR and heard a "Ren & Stimpy" promo and then bits from the cartoon ... man, how I miss that show!

0112 UTC: WREC ID, then "Cherry Pie" by Warrant

0115 UTC: ID, then "Something to Believe in" by Poison

Anyway, signal's fighting increasing noise via the SDR. No signal out west here. Just tried the Uniontown SDR at 0115 UTC, and the signal's noticeably weaker there with more noise.

0118 UTC: Checked back on my local SDR (K9VD) and could just barely hear the Poison song. So the signal's sort of making it this far west now.

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
