Got here in CT with an excellent signal.  Female ID at 0100. Playing Free with All Right Now.  There is a digital signal above it.  I found the audio is better using LSB.  Thanks for the show. 
0120, Digital signal above is gone, back to synchronous AM.

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.
