Tuned in at 0112 utc on Barringtom Hills IL sdr with fair S9 to S9+10 signal but some static, tuned in locally with fair/poor S9+10 to S9+20 signal over S9+10 neighborhood noise, at 0118 switched to St. Michel des Saints QC with fair/good S9+10 to S9+20 signal, seems to be a travel themed program, at 0242 utc fading away on both St. Michel des Saints QC and Barrington Hills IL sdr with S7 on both. Nice program, thanks for the tunes.

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

Signal tonight into Mosinee, WI on 6960 kHz was inconsistent sometimes strong and clear other times down below the noise level of the band better towards the end of the broadcast. Thanks Ballsmacker! Radio: SDR, airspy and 22 ft, dipole. Signal Friday night was mostly down in the noise.
