Rough copy under noisy conditions on 4175 at 2354.
ID at 2356.  Hoping for conditions to improve later in the evening.
Tuned back in at 0025 and signal much better with much easier copy.
Redhat talking about use of AM  on shortwave.

23:58 UTC Linkin Park "Papercut" S9 signal on JRC-NRD 535 in south eastern WI

Thanks for the shoutout! I'm located in Horicon, WI and I'm listening to the 4.175 MHz USB signal.

Could I possibly hear something from Mudvayne? Maybe "Dig" if you have it?

00:57 UTC Mudvayne "World So Cold" S9+20 signal    Thanks for playing some Mudvayne!

01:20 UTC Oasis "Wonderwall" I love this song! S7 signal

01:40 UTC Fleetwood Mac "The Chain" S8 signal. I always think of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 when I hear this song.

01:48 UTC Gordon Lightfoot "Sun Down" S8 signal. Another great song

Thanks for the show!

Barely anything out here. On both my direct receiver and the local SDR, I can hear music on 4175  USB at the noise floor level; nothing on 5165 audible in any mode right now.

Tuned in at 0037utc, 4175usb much better than 5165am, pop music then XFM announcement, more pop music,

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
