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

02:20 UTC - Good readable, S+10. Modulation looks strange tonight on the spectrum analyzer. It appears to have more lower sideband product than upper sideband product. For an AM modulation, it is not symmetrical on both sides of the centre carrier.
02:28 UTC - Station ID.
