00:55  Giving info about T shirts and a website where they are streaming their audio

Signal was S9, but has taken a deep fade now.   Band conditions not good on 41m tonight.
Sorry guys, would like to hear you on the streaming audio, but didn't catch the website.

I see the website for the streaming audio posted on the prior message.

Dick Weed:   The URL for the T-shirt seems to be broken.

Catching RFW here at a S6 peaking at 7 and good audio talking about the T-shirt drive with The Crystal Ship on the shirt at 0112 into "Losing Touch" at 0114. How about something by INXS comrades? Thanks for the shoutout and for playing Green Day earlier in the show, sorry I missed it. :( Thanks for the show this evening!

Albert Hammond Jr?
Is he the son of Albert Hammond that sang the 70s song "It never rains in Southern California"?  Sounds like it probably is.
Play one from his father for us old farts.

RFW, 6950U, 0130, 8.7.16.  Weak music and Dick Weed's voice, but it is difficult to tell what the music is or what is being said.  Much weaker than usual for RFW here.

S6 with S5 static floor

Hey Dick Weed, thanks for playing the old geezer's song from the old Mr. Hammond.

The song by Jack White was pretty good, keeping it coming!!

Just remember, we'll be getting on the upside of the next sunspot cycle by 2023

Thanks for the show.

I was fairly sure from the voices it was RFW. Signal strength wasn't a problem, but that wide ute a couple of kHz down was ripping RFW apart here.

Very curious propagation this evening. Heard with a very weak signal at 0043 sign on, it sounded like someone said "zero" then into the Soviet Anthem. A little chatter heard after the end of the anthem, but then it faded out.
Then at 0142 it faded back in with a very strong signal, I heard Live "Horse". ID at 0145. Then faded out a few seconds later.
0150 faded back in again with DJ Duckweed talking about pirates cooperating and bringing entertainment.
0152 "It Never Rains In Southern California"
0155 ID, more music.  SIO 555 now.
0225 Off mid sentence.
