Tuned in at 0104 utc on Brookfield WI sdr with fair S9+10 signal, wide variety of pop tunes from various eras, also tried tuning in locally but under S9+10 neighborhood hash, still good signal at 0153, program theme is about doors with various tunes about doors or what is behind them or knocking on them, at 0237 SSTV/FAX then goodbye announcement by woman, piano IS then off.

Drake R8, Kenwood R-2000, Panasonic RF-4900, Sony 2010, Realistic DX440, Grundig Satellit 500, 7mhz backyard dipole, Mt Prospect, IL 20miles (32km) NW of downtown Chicago. 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

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.
