Music at 2346z. ID at 2347z. SINPO 35333. Moderate band noise and static crashing at the moment but still generally listenable.

0018z - Increasing signal strength. SINPO 45334.

0147z - Still rocking the tunes here.

0236z - Off air.

Thanks for the broadcast and shout-outs! :)

@DJDW My antenna farm is intact. Thankfully my immediate area was largely spared from Ian, though yeah, the situation gets dramatically worse going south.

I have it with a fair/good signal.  DJ Dickweed playing Indie music.  Thanks for the show.
On 6960 KHz, there is a steady carrier with no modulation.  Any one else see it on a waterfall?
0014 off due to Microsoft Windows crash/restart

DJ Dickweed, I feel your pain.  Here are some suggestions on controlling Windows updates:
Go to Settings, Click on Windows Updates.  When the menu is available, which seems to take too long.  You can click on "Pause Updates for 7 days.  This stops Windows for updating for a week.  The other thing, is to change the active hours button.  This defines the time which you are busy and stops Windows from restarting in that time window.  You can turn on automatic, which allows Windows to decide on when to restart.  The other way is to manually define the  use window.  I use the manual definition of 7 AM to 10 PM.  These steps can help to control windows deciding to restart while in the middle of something important.  Murphy (of Murphy's Law) says Windows will restart when the least convenient for you.    Hope this is a help.

Back to listening at 0103 with an excellent signal.  All Men are liars.

It is the UNID tango station from Europe. It is undermodulated, but the audio is there. This is why people should check (on SDR’s as well, not just from the TX site) for other stations on or near the frequency they plan to use. This especially applies if your station has a very large range (RFW is currently audible on KiwiSDR’s in Europe and South America). RFW and Wasteland Radio have been QRMing this station for a while now (although Wasteland Radio is off air now).

Shortwavelistener, with all due respect...I checked up down and center like I normally do and couldn't rx this Euro pirate at all you're describing on my very capable antenna system. He was likely below the noise floor for me. I would never intentionally just start QRMing people. Overseas traffic is gonna be tricky sometimes and yes I could go try a dozen SDRS to check but "ain't nobody got no time for dat!" Sorry about the interference.

I know you wouldn’t do that on purpose, I understand. It was very weak (just getting little bits of audio on the K3FEF KiwiSDR) in North America so it does make sense you didn’t hear it. I’m sorry to bother you about it, you have a great station!
