Worse reception from Ball Smacker in a while. Which is a shame as I enjoy his shows immensely. Poor decodes on the two SSTV images.

Good signal for Ball Breaker Radio. Thanks for the show.

At 0308, hearing what sounds like a replay of the Ball Smacker broadcast from around 0100 this evening: Blondie "Call Me" at 0308 tune-in, then Steven Winwood "Valerie" at 0311.  Good signal into Atlanta on my 40-meter dipole, but some deep fades.
