I have the good DJ Dickweed with  a fair but noisy signal.  Thanks for the show.
 Yes, it is local static and not your audio.  Tee shirt is nice, but I do not like Black.  Prefer Blue.

2329  'Stop and Stare' - Logan, 'Go!', 'Give me a bite' - COFFIN, DJDW announcing music & DJ patter, shouting out to HFU (lots of logs from Conn.), announced next song, 'Hex' - White China, canned ID … DJDW talking about a RFW T shirt available (email him), saying goodnight, 0020 off.

Started out fair, dropped to nearly inaudible, then back with good signal.  Lots of lightning QRN unfortunately.

Thanks for the show.
