01:10 UTC - S8 signal to my location. Radio drama. Transmitting in wide sideband (3.2 kHz wide) and audio slightly overmodulated and distorted. There is DC in the audio causing distortion;
01:31 UTC - "You are listening to Ball Smacker Radio somewhere in the North East".
02:23 UTC - End of broadcast. Thank you for the show.

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

ID at 0217z. SINPO 34344. In the den right now so using just the 9' vertical. Nonetheless, good modulation and an easy copy as usual.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
