No sign of Ball Smacker here at 0118, I'm in the skip zone I guess!
There is a carrier noted though.

Tuned in at 0121utc, fair/weak signal with low noise, heard Ballsmacker ID, now soft rock tune.
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

Signal seems fair to good here in Orlando but there is some kind of RFI blowing out the signal for the most part. Maybe a bad street light.
Can here music at 0129, not sure what it is though.
