Getting unknown station. Sounds like jazz playing but there's heavy distortion, possibly from Navy ute centered on 6971. Sometimes the music makes it thru. Changed programs to Studio1 (SDRuno) and it is coming in clearly. Station is only using 2.7k. WTF ID was very clear. Thanks for the broadcast.

SINPO=44333

126- "Starlight" by Muse.
127- OM IDs and says he doesn't ever play the same song twice, so a lot of these songs are new to him, as he's running out of songs.
127- "Pardon Me" by Incubus.
131- OM says "if that was too loud, you're too old!"
131- "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction (barking dogs intro causing operator to ask, "what the heck, is this WDOG?!")

Was sitting on 6980usb after Wolverine signed off and WTF Radio Worldwide came on freq, fair/poor with S9 peaks on both Normal IL and Barrington Hills IL sdr's,
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
