S9 here in Georgia and plenty of static from storms on the east coast.
Still nice to hear Dickweed and his sidekick on 6950 kHz.

Great to hear the Comrades again! Sounding good here with a S8 and great audio as always despite the static crashes. How about "Erotic City" by Prince if you can fit it in? Talking about having to leave the "Bunker" and the end of RFW. That sucks!  :( (Might have to use a relay? Thanks Dickweed and Stavin! Keep rocking the HF airwaves! Thanks Comrades for playing "Erotic City"!!!!!!!!!!

A solid SIO 555 at sign on, and quite good for about the first half of the show, then a fading signal, almost gone by sign off time. Thanks for the show, and I hope you can find an alternate bunker!

Heard in Washington state. Not as good a signal as the previous night, (distant) lightning-caused static was quite bad.

Will hopefully have some audio to upload later this week.
