2253 Nothing here, but S5 on Unionville. Like Radio Star said.  Good carrier, but low audio.  "Give Me Back My Man" B52s
2257 "California Kid" The Beat Farmers
2259 "Sidewinder" Charlie Daniels Band.  Audio is very clean, when it fades in, it's really good.
2307 "The Lemon Song" Led Zeppelin
2314 Scotte 1 image.  I turned on MMSSTV a little too late.

2322 Another Scottie 1 image.
2340  I've been listening, but doing other things.  I really like "Planet Caravan" by Black Sabbath

Barely detect carrier in ssb mode locally, tuned in on Dixon IL sdr and same results,
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
