Excellent signal but distorted with "Yesterday"

Now the cover songs "I Gotta Wash My Hands" (I Wanna Hold Your Hand), "Stayin' Inside" (Stayin' Alive), "Quarantine" (Dancing Queen), "I'll Be There for You" (changed to quarantine lyrics), "We Didn't Start the Virus" (We Didn't Start the Fire), "50 Ways to Get Corona" (50 Ways to Leave Your Lover), "Imagine," "Yesterday"

Radio Free Mars ID block . . . . Same as was used about 8-10 years ago. Nice to hear again!

Barely detect carrier in ssb mode.
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
