Good signal with only a little storm noise via NA5B near Washington, D.C.

2242 UTC: Instrumental music, then OM saying "You're tuned to The Quacker ... K.W.A.K."
2246 UTC: OM with ID again. "Quack, quack, we're back." Then another rock instrumental.
2258 UTC: Instrumental rock continuing as WBCQ signs on 5130 kHz and provides some interference.
2300 UTC: "Black Woods" by Stoned Jesus. Can still hear the WBCQ interference.
2301 UTC: OM with ID as "Found God in a Tomato" by Psychedelic Porn Crumpets starts.
2302 UTC: Music suddenly stopped, signal off.
* * *
Now on 5119 USB ...

2311 UTC: "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

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

Nope, 5130 is broadcaster WBCQ out of Maine. KWAK's now jumped to 5119U.

SINPO=34232, but improving I believe.

2334- "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.
2338- "No I In Beer" by Brad Paisley, but then it stops and OM says something briefly.
2339- Lost signal or off?
