Tuned in at 0047 on Barrington Hills IL sdr, poor noisy S7 signal, hear bits of audio, tried Normal IL sdr, same result, 
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

Catching BSR via the online NA5B at 0054 with David Bowie's "Where Are You Now" playing and then into "I Can't Give Everything Away". Got a David Bowie theme going. Signal is a S9 with peaks hitting as high as 5 over and audio excellent. Thanks for the show this evening my friend! :)
