Ball Smacker 6960 AM 0100 UTC 24 OCT 2020
« on: October 24, 2020, 0105 UTC »
Off to a bit of a late start, no interval or anything prior to 0100. Music, but too weak for me to shazam and no tunes I recognize yet (currently 0104 as I type this).
0108 Ball Smacker ID into another 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
