Signing on now. SIO 555, but very choppy audio. Better audio now, Dickweed said they had computer problems.
Song, then some more audio gremlins. They seem to have fixed it again.

Hearing music at the moment no ID as of yet signal is fair. Some issues with audio with Radio Free Whatever!They seem to be having quite a conversation with a problem with a computer.

2341z Big signal, S9+, first ID was good but second time was choppy ("the computer has a case of hiccups")
2343z DJ Dickweed and Stavin, "Looks like we've lost the Internet so we can't check HFUnderground"
2344z Checking the Internet from another computer (cellphone or tablet or whatever), shout-outs to all...
2354z Russian tech wizards getting an email from Skipmuck
2355z Stavin getting hot over lady singer's voice "With a voice like that she's got to be hot". Yeah, like Susan Boyle.
0017z Time for a TV break, still sounding good here guys, S9+, thanks...
