Good signal with little fade.

2/18/12, 6925 AM, 0050z: Sounds like relay of WEAK's latest program.  Dunno who's doing the relay, but thanks!
0100z: Roky Erickson and 13th Floor Elevators, "You're Gonna Miss Me", punching through nicely during peaks, able to copy in AM mode.  WEAK singing jingle, Blues Image "Ride Captain Ride"
0107z: Classic 1970s Ayds ad... too funny for all the wrong reasons.  Sounds like a parody now, but it was a real ad.
0113z: Syndicate of Sound "Hey Little Girl"
0116z: Vox wah-wah pedal ad - another ad that sounds like a parody, but isn't

Pretty good signal peaks here to the indoor antenna, mostly competing with local t-storm crashes.

Terrific S-3 over S-0 noise signal into northern Canada! I wanted to be the first to post but I waited too long. Listened to funeral dirge when I first tuned in at 0048GMT. Then OM ID and into a tune at 0052. My first time to hear! PSE QSL!

Hrd also in upstate NY, SIO=322.  Decent signal but a noisy band is hampering recep here.  Funeral Dirge at open.  Wide range of mx from metal to punk to 60s Blues Image.  Sounds like a great show - I wish my copy was better.  Good readable ID at 0108

Very strong here, -34 dBm just before sign off, on par with WYFR on 6890.

Checked online to see if anyone was on & ran upstairs in time to catch the end of Diarrhea Jones talking about his dependable pants. Garage rock, Vox ad, ending talk with Peter Ivers, then funeral dirge. WEAK IDs throughout. Really great combo of entertaining show & huge signal...about S9+20 here. Thanks much to all involved!

Good signal in NH this evening, S7-S9 and nicely above the noise.

Program was as noted by others: dirge, nice tunes and ads, lots of IDs, the dirge again, and off.

Great that someone was able to relay this program.
