BallSmacker Radio 6960 AM 0057 UTC 23 JUL 2022
« on: July 23, 2022, 0057 UTC »
BallSmacker Radio 6960.0 kHz AM 00:57 UTC 23 JULY 2022

00:57 UTC - Carrier is up; S9 to +10 signal;
00:59 UTC - Interval signal; (sounds different today / different softer mix)
01:01 UTC - Broadcast begins with new intro ID; (I don't find the audio as punchy today as it normally would be)
02:35 UTC - Closing with new theme;
02:37 UTC - Interval signal;
02:39 UTC - End of broadcast.

I think I like the old BallSmacker format better.

Monitoring also available via the live stream: BallSmacker Radio


RSPduo | End-fed longwire antenna

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.
