RFW, 6950U, 0130, 8.7.16.  Weak music and Dick Weed's voice, but it is difficult to tell what the music is or what is being said.  Much weaker than usual for RFW here.

Hey Dick Weed, thanks for playing the old geezer's song from the old Mr. Hammond.

The song by Jack White was pretty good, keeping it coming!!

Just remember, we'll be getting on the upside of the next sunspot cycle by 2023

I was fairly sure from the voices it was RFW. Signal strength wasn't a problem, but that wide ute a couple of kHz down was ripping RFW apart here.

Very curious propagation this evening. Heard with a very weak signal at 0043 sign on, it sounded like someone said "zero" then into the Soviet Anthem. A little chatter heard after the end of the anthem, but then it faded out.
Then at 0142 it faded back in with a very strong signal, I heard Live "Horse". ID at 0145. Then faded out a few seconds later.
0150 faded back in again with DJ Duckweed talking about pirates cooperating and bringing entertainment.
0152 "It Never Rains In Southern California"
0155 ID, more music.  SIO 555 now.
0225 Off mid sentence.
