Title: Radio Free Whatever 6955 USB 2251 UTC 25 FEB 2022
Post by: DangerKitty on February 25, 2023, 2251 UTC
music and no ID so far at 2250
55555, big signal, S9+10
2250: "imperial" sounding mx -- "Overture" - John Barry
2252: DJ Dickweed, ID, with a "musical intervention"
moved from 6950 due to overtopping other station on 6950, per DJDW
2258: "The coolest station on SW" -> "Black Top White Lines" - Chris Shiflett

Double check your frequency, I got him on 6955
He just said he was on 6950 over top of another station. He moved to 6955 after about 1-2 minutes.

Dickweed just wrote this in the chat:

“not sure why it says i was on 6950? i wasnt”

“I think danger kitty might have thought he spotted me on 6950 at first. So when I saw a unid posting come up on 6950 at the exact same time as me i got a little worried i was stepping on someone”

There is also no station on 6950 USB
OK - I'm wrong and didn't hear what I said I heard. Everybody else is right and for some reason I had to retune freq. But I'm wrong.

Don't sweat the small stuff Danger Kitty. If you heard something I believe you, but I'm saying it wasn't me. Perhaps you did hear another station for just a brief moment. Regardless, im just glad theres nobody in close quarters for me to piss off. lol
Thanks for posting me in the first place so people know I'm skybound. I appreciate all of you posters out there for inspiration to do shows.

Great signal into the Shenandoah Mountains VA.
S9+20 with no preamp needed on a 1370' end-fed

Reminds me of the old days of Radio Caroline back in the UK.
Great stuff.

6955 khz, just tuned in, fair signal with heavy noise in western New York, FEB 24-25, 2023


2354z  Previous song IDed as "Caroline (something)"
2354z  Announcer IDs station as "Radio Free Whatever", playing the best music in the whole world
2354z  Next song announced is by Ben Folds
2358z  "This is Radio Free Whatever"
0001z  "Whatever" (I think from Ferris Bueller's Day Off?)
0005z  "light another cigarette, and pour another shot", "Whatever", signal has deteriorated badly, can barely hear it through the noise now. 
0029z  Signal is now much improved

Thanks, Radio Free Whatever!

No problem here, and thank you for the well produced shows. There's been a lot of stepping-on-top-of tonight on other freqs and hope none of it was affecting your show. Frankly, it's hard for me to keep track of. Once again, thank you!

Fun Fact: Learnt is a word used by mostly British people (such as myself) and is absolutely a word.

Still 20 over in NW VA

"Learnt" is a word back in the hills where you're at too, Max, but the expansion of Washington/Baltimore metroplex drove most of the native speakers south and west. You'll often hear it during the high water seasons. "She tried to drive her car through the underpass, but she learnt better about 15 foot in."

The difference between "foot" and "feet" can be confusing. Everyone knows humans have two feet and most other land mammal's have four, but foot can refer to distance, a measure, or part of your body in the uplands of the Virginia's. "Give me 50 foot of RG-8 coax." will get you what you want, while, "Do you have 50 feet of RG-8 coax.", says, "This guy ain't from around here. Tack 50 cent's a foot on to the price and let's see what else we can squeeze out of him? He ain't learnt our ways yet."
