Tuned in at 0012utc, very weak at noise level, hear pop music poking above noise, at 0028 heard clap of thunder and disconnected antenna.

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
