Dick Weed with the RFW ID at 0034 UTC. Signal is very good, but the Pescadore (Azore fishermen) QRM on 6925 LSB is interfering heavily.

Ops, please consider a move for us in the Northeast. The 6925 Azores Net is a nightly event and is now killing this frequency.  :(

Radio Free Whateverrrrrr ID very clear at 0039UTC.  Into music. Decent signal, but a failrly high nois floor tonight. RFW is running asbout S7, S4 noise, static crashes well over S9.

Cant wait for Fall and quieter cndx.

0032 On with RR N/A, IDs

Very good +5 signal, but is killed intermittently by LSB pescs.  Listening USB only.

0058 Now on 6945 with similar signal strength, less QRM

Thanks RFW!

fair reception in usb here. listening on sat 750 due to extreme laziness...SDR & other radios are in another room. RFW is about S7 with pesca comms starting to piss me off. This is about the strongest I've ever gotten RFW & those pescas are really screwing it up.....stupid fishermen.


noticed that pescas are strong on Twente. I don't usually see that. Don't usually look for them either but still. They are quite strong on there tonight.

01:40 ID signal about an S7-8 OP's speaking then into song

Thanks for the Show RFW!

Ditto, via east coast web tuner hearing Radio Free Whatever, moved from 6925 to 6945 to avoid ute QRM.  Hearing IDs and They Might Be Giants "Birdhouse In Your Soul".  Booming signal via eastern tuner, just a faint carrier via home tuner with indoor antenna.
0146z: Songs by Beck, Folk Implosion "Natural One", other '90s rock.
