Tuned in at 0114utc with Barrington Hills IL sdr, poor noisy signal due to rain approaching, at 0115 DJ said "Ball smacker Radio at proton mail dot com", Doors "riders on the storm", at 0118 momentary UTE QRM, at 0131 Wagner's "ride of the Valkyrie",

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.
