Tuned in at 0217utc on Batavia IL sdr, see faint carrier on waterfall at times, no audio,
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

Ball Smacker Radio signal has gotten loud enough for reporting here. Johnny Cash tune was on and it sounded very good, just not very loud. Thanks for the show.

SSTV signal started after the J. Cash song.
