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

Someone came in over Ball Smacker (which I can barely hear at my QTH) and played:

SINPO=34433, very good
102- "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath.
104- Off.


Hearing Ball Smacker now, SINPO=22222:

105- "The Purple People Eater" by Sheb Wooley.
107- Soft pop tune sung by OM I can't ID, as too faint a song to cut through the QRN and QRM whistle.
110- YL IDs station.
110- "Games People Play" by The Alan Parsons Project.

130- "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People. Now SINPO=33333, better!
133- "One Love, People Get Ready" by Bob Marley.
136- YL IDs station and gives email address.
