Richard Cranium Radio is finally getting louder and I'm hearing some good rock tunes. A local storm front is getting very close but the S7 signal sounds good. Thanks for the show.

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
