Comrades!
Nice signal at 2250 UTC in lower Michigan...
Steady S-5 with peaking around S-7.

But-- I don't know if that's a het whistling on you, or what.... fading up on it now at 2252 while you fade down a little... but I hear ya chatting about the music, Dickweed!

Good move with the lower frequencies, but not sure about that particular one...

I quit smoking May 1st, and this time it is sticking.

Still listening to the tunes at 2337 UTC, heard a shout-out by Dickweed a while back..

Yeah, the het may very well be local but it's messy here.  Still, the only pirate I've heard on my own receiver in eons...

I've got the same 2k Hz whistle as John Poet (but I'm only a few miles from him) -- easily notched

Tuned in at 2300 in Williamston MI  3+4+44+3+ (ALMOST O=4) Sounds nice with the bandwidth opened
up to 4 kHz ....

73 and thanks for the show  --Zichi MI

Good signal on a fairly quiet band with some fading. Thanks for the broadcast.

Me and my big fat enter finger. Now the signal is almost unreadable. SIGH!

Started recording about 2310 with S7 signal, then left to do the dishes.

Came back at 2328 to music, Dickweed talking about music he played, going vegan, etc. ID, then signal dropped out.  I don't think the program ended, just the propagation.
