Surprisingly legible copy for me, usually these drops from 43m to 73m mean I can kiss goodbye any legible copy of the show, but it's SIO 222 here in Colorado. Was definitely better at 6950 but that's how it goes.
0021 seems to have dropped out, I see a carrier which I take is DJDW keying up again
0022 music is back

Had not been hearing RFW on this frequency earlier.  6925U was good here.

0213 "Dominick the Donkey" - Lou Monte, DJDW with a few words, then into a fade with next song and just audible talk. 
Gone at 0223.
