0112 Decent signal above noise floor. Need to get that BFO tuned. Hang on...
0118 How I'm hearing it where I am:
                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8-LRV9SI8w
0149-0155 Banter, complaints about CGI in film, HFU shoutouts (thanks!), queuing up the wrong track...
                Currently S9 signal, 433 (noise is pretty bad tonight)
0251 "Rock N Roll Star" Oasis  
                 Signal S5 322 S9 433 when I remember to de-attenuate.
0309 Song by The Alarm, missed the title, a request by refmo. Signal is getting less noisy, thanks be to the gods of propagation.
0330 "He's My Star" by the f'n POSTER CHILDREN! w00t, as kids are wont to say these days.
0338 "Love My Way" Psychedelic Furs
0342 more banter, an email about the signal into the "Volunteer State" prompting much discussion about other state nicknames. email (dickweeddj@gmail.com) given.

I'm enjoying the show, comrades. Did you ever check out Poster Children? Did you like them or find them too "twee"? EDIT question answered @ 0330.

Thanks for the show!

Caught the last couple of minutes while skimming the band. I was busy checking a line isolator instead of looking at the S meter, but the modulation sounded good, so I will say an estimated SIO 344.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)

SDR Recorder Catch

Better than S9 reception throughout the entire show.

DW is apparently a fan of women's beach volleyball.

I have had antennas down for a while here, and this was the first night I had the HF loop cobbled back into the system.  Thanks for helping to break this in!

SDR recording catch, solid SIO 555 from 0102 sign on, getting weaker as the broadcast went on, but I still had it all the way until 0347.

This is also a little late but was also a SDR recorder catch last night. RFW was a rock solid S9 throughout whole recording with some great tunes and HFU shout outs. Like the one about the Poet. ;D Thanks comrades! Hope to hear more of you before things go silent for awhile!
