Title: RFW 6950 USB 0039 June 15
Post by: halifaxtap on June 15, 2014, 0039 UTC

0038 Signing on RFW Dick Weed
0041  S5-6   I am getting this better on USB, but looks like an AM signal  
0043  ID RFW
0051 Pseudo disco ?  OOOOH KAY...
0055.. I often find RFW signal is worth getting the R390 warmed up for some improved fidelity, but not happening this evening.. noise is bad. The DSP tools on the IC7700 doing a great job though.
0126  Off

Thanks for the show and fun listening !

0045z RFW sounding good in NH, S9+. Nice wide signal about 4khz so I switched to the SDR so I could drive the "big" stereo speakers/subwoofer I have on my PC.

0126z Sign-off - Thanks Dickweed, still sounding great at the end

One minute I'm listening to MAC closing down with the Star Spangled Banner, and a few minutes later I'm listening to the Soviet Anthem on RFW all in the space of half a kHZ...I love pirate radio ;D
Great signal here tonight and excellent USB audio DJ Dickweed!

Lovely signal tonight!! S9+! Great audio as always. If we're doing dance tunes and this is a live show , throw on some Die Antwoord "Baby's on Fire! Either that or ATC "Around the World"

6950 USB  0101-0125  JUN 15
Very tough copy here in eastern Nebraska.  Signal barely above noise floor and approaching storm adding to the difficulty. IDs at  0107 and 0125.
