DJ Dickweed up asking for HFU reports.

Good signal, first heard you on 6969 if the matters.

Dickweed moved to 6935 because of Link 11 on 6970. There is a station on 6933 so he is now on 6955.

21:41 UTC - Nice S7 signal into my location;
21:47 UTC - Station ID. Sometimes peaking to S8. Appears to be +/- 4.2 kHz wide bandwidth;
21:50 UTC - Taking a short break to fix RF in audio path issue;
21:57 UTC - Now on 6955.0 kHz;
22:09 UTC - I just hit a deep fade period and completely lost the signals in this portion of the band. Current conditions of the magnetic field: Unsettled;
23:00 UTC - The signal is still burried in the noise floor into my location;
23:10 UTC - Station ID: Radio Free Whatever. Conditions are starting to improve. Just went from an S4 ~ S5 to S7 ~ S8 and I can now switch back to 4.2 kHz bandwidth;
23:17 UTC - Shout-outs to HFU listeners;
23:26 UTC - The band is opening up nicely. The signal is now well above S9;
00:05 UTC - Shout-outs to the recent HFU listeners. Radio Free Whatever is dominating the band this evening;
01:32 UTC - Station ID. Still going on strong and king of the band this evening;
02:00 UTC - Hitting some signal fade out now. Down to about an S6 and getting noisy;
02:25 UTC - Signal is almost gone now. Weak and unreadable;
02:30 UTC - Can barely hear DJ Dick Weed speak about conditions and time to go. The band is slowly improving.
02:35 UTC - "Good night everybody". End of broadcast.

Thank you for the stelar extended show, 5 hours!

Last two songs sounded British, but I can't get the lyrics. SIO 555

Solid S9 here. Appreciate the wider-than-average bandwidth. I used to listen to RFW all the time when I was a teenager. Glad to see the signal is still strong in this part of the world.  ;D

2:30 - Give me my internet, Elon Musk! (Last year I had to build a whole radio system for my family to extract an LTE connection over a troposcatter link. I know the feeling, DJ!)

Came across at around 21:55 6955khz USB. DJ Dick Weed with good signal avg. S5 from the Heart Of Dixie. Very good SSB audio estimating 2.7k wide. Off the beaten path rock and pop songs. Some cleaver banter and nicely produce Station Jingles. Didn't write down any of the songs. Will start making better notes. First Log Here. Listening with good ham gear and lengthy wire antenna.
