Ball Smacker Radio 4030.0 kHz AM 01:53 UTC 11 DECEMBER 2021

01:53 UTC - Carrier is up. Monitoring via the Laurel Springs KiwiSDR as there is no direct signal to my location again this week;
01:58 UTC - Interval signal;
02:00 UTC - Broadcast begins, weak and barely readable on the Laurel Springs KiwiSDR. This frequency is very noisy tonight on this KiwiSDR;
02:25 UTC - Switched over to the live stream via https://ballsmacker.net/
03:33 UTC - SSTV;
03:34 UTC - End of broadcast.

Thank you for the broadcast despite the poor conditions.

Toronto, Ontario Canada

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
