Radio Free Whatever 6940 USB 0218 UTC 13 May 2017
« on: May 13, 2017, 0221 UTC »
S6 to S7 with "Solitude Is Bliss" Tame Impala.  Very good audio.
0222 - "Mind Mischief" Tame Impala
0227 - "Expectation" Tame Impala
0310 - "Why Won't They Talk To Me" Tame Impala.  S4 to S5, still good copy.
Unless there is an ID stating otherwise, I will assume this is Dick Weed chilling with some Tame Impala

tuned in at 0244utc, weak sig, pop music, R-2000 & dipole.

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

S9+10 at 0315z via my 148' loop-on-ground, though admittedly with about 20dB of preamp. Some static crashing, but a good copy with plenty of modulation.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
