S4 - S5 on the Vermont Mountaintop SDR, competing with a lot of noise and some nearby peskies.

Tuned in at 2304utc, very weak locally, barely hear male speaking under the low noise level,
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

WFDR-2249 with FDR speech. At 2309, speech suddenly ending or cut, then OM with "W-F-D-R" (in FDR's voice, I think) and "Goodnight!" Then off.  Signals 232 at best in central NY state.
Kenwood TS-450S into an 80 mb horizontal Vee dipole with tuner.
