0139 UTC - hear some music in NW GA.  Lots of static crashes due to approaching weather.

Awesome reports!  Thanks so much!  We have big things coming soon!  Also thanks for so many donations...buying bigger and better more powerful equipment. 

We strive for perfection...look at our carrier error, modulation depth, and a 12.8Khz bandwidth (6.4KHz pass) with appropriate compression.  Should sound great even on a diode crystal rig!

Just remember you have to email us at BallSmacker@ProtonMail.com to get a eQSL!
