Post by: refmo on August 16, 2015, 0127 UTC: Dick Weed manning the controls by himself tonight. Big signal, S9+ and sounding very good.
Down to S4 or less @ 0213, barely copying now.

Thanks for the great tunes while it lasted!

Post by: textim on August 16, 2015, 0127 UTC: Got DJ Dickweed talking about his "new" computer at 0126z.

Killer S9+20 signal.

Big drop in signal at 0209z. Now just above the noise. >:(

0208 shouts to all, still potent signal here

Post by: BigAl on August 16, 2015, 0128 UTC: S9 with usual great audio.
Assisstant Stavin is a BUTTler?
Hope that works out!

Post by: JohnS on August 16, 2015, 0130 UTC: Yes, DJ Dickweed, I am hearing you tonight with a decent signal here in Omaha.
Came across your signal @ 0125 and sounding good despite noisy conditions on the band here.

Post by: Zoidberg on August 16, 2015, 0130 UTC: 0130z: Ditto here, not strong, just enough to copy some chatter and music.
0141z: "...sparks flying everywhere..." DJ chatter peaking through the noise a bit better now.

Post by: Rafman on August 16, 2015, 0140 UTC: Strapping s9+10
Title: Re: Radio Free Whatever 6945USB 01:24 Aug 16
Post by: Lord Windemere on August 16, 2015, 0141 UTC: Very strong tonight, 60 over S9. Had to attenuate the signal. I almost never have to do that. :)

Post by: redhat on August 16, 2015, 0146 UTC: Peaks to S9 here @145z with MGMT's "Time To Pretend" About +24Hz according to the Elad FDM-S2, although it's not locked to anything.
I've got dinner on the stove and laundry in the works so not a whole lot of time to listen, but I'll be around
204z with live break from DJ DW. Backselling music, last track was Morning Parade's "Alienation", and giving me sh*t :) Thanks for the shout!
208z...That's why I run Linux ;)
210z into some Jack White, signal is getting pretty rough here too, signal now about even with the static @S8. You know the old saying, give it a minute, it'll change.
219z Live break following Noel Gallager's High Fly Birds, "Since you can't hear me anyway, go f*ck yourself, no just kidding.."

Sorry to hear you call it quits so early, look forward to your next show.

Thanks for the show, comrads!

Post by: Skipmuck on August 16, 2015, 0152 UTC: Finally! The T-storm passed and quickly hooked up the antenna to find DJ Dickweed at the controls at 0141 UTC. S6 here and the prop is lousy plus a few residual snap, crackle, and pops from the receding storm.
But the music is coming through just fine!
0200 UTC Signal is down to S3 now with some peskie yakking too :(
I think the sun is having a bad day....

Title: Re: Radio Free Whatever 6945USB 01:24 Aug 16
Post by: kgb on August 16, 2015, 0205 UTC: First heard the station at sign on with a booming signal

Can barely hear DJ Dickweed now. Signal just about at noise level.

Post by: Bowman1 on August 16, 2015, 0208 UTC: Nice signal from RFW in Central Iowa tonight, peaking at about an S8 on the Perseus and the SAL. Lots of shout outs to people on the HFU!

Thanks for the show!

Post by: Mentholyptus on August 16, 2015, 0216 UTC: 0132, faint signal, uncopyable tonight :^(
Band conditions must be flaky, normally you're +15 or better here
Title: Re: Radio Free Whatever 6945USB 01:24 Aug 16
Post by: Dick Weed on August 16, 2015, 0221 UTC: Why aren't you at work young lady? I just pulled the plug on the station...when i saw Mentholyptus couldn't hear me that was the last straw!
Title: Re: Radio Free Whatever 6945USB 01:24 Aug 16
Post by: Mentholyptus on August 16, 2015, 0224 UTC: Lol, I'm on my way now. Stopped at a hotspot to post I can't hear you. :^)

Post by: ChrisSmolinski on August 16, 2015, 1558 UTC: SDR recording catch. Fairly weak, SIO 322 or so.

Post by: oly1959 on August 17, 2015, 0150 UTC: This is also a late posting. Caught RFW in the MN north woods with a really great signal, 5-6 on the meter and sounding really good. Talking about Win 10 and playing some really good tunes. Signed off early due to poor propagation. Thanks Dickweed. :)
