BallSmacker Radio 6960.0 kHz AM 00:57 UTC 18 JUNE 2022

00:57 UTC - Carrier is up;
00:58 UTC - Interval signal;
01:00 UTC - Broadcast begins;
02:36 UTC - SSTV;
02:39 UTC - End of broadcast.

Good to be able to hear you again from my new location, although I do have some Link 11 traffic on 6961.0 kHz which I did not have in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Perhaps the Link 11 traffic is recent as I have been off -line for the past few weeks.

Good and readable with an S9 signal and some fluctuation.
01:40 UTC - Signal just went up to S+10 to S+15. Sounding good and buries the Link 11 UTE;
01:50 UTC - The Link 11 UTE on 6961.0 kHz stopped transmitting;
02:04 UTC - The Link 11 UTE on 6961.0 kHz returned.

Monitoring also available via the live stream: https://ballsmacker.net/

Outstanding sound into SE MI. S9 Slight noise crashes, audio loud,  crisp. No interference.  Hearing band Boston. Then Beatles. Good tunes. Nice show. Thanks for transmitting.  Also coming over well on tiny Eton Elite mini transistor using telescopic antenna. Not bad. Enjoying.
