Interval signal sounded great - then signal took a huge nosedive here. Barely readable now.

0157 Carrier is up
0158 Wildfire interval signal
0200 Sign on then Phil Collins

Tuned in at 0205utc on both Barrington Hills IL and Champaign IL sdr's, S5 on Barrington Hills and S9 on Champaign, barely hear any rock music audio at all,
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
