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.  :(

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.

01:59 off --- Wolverine Radio came right on...

Thanks for the Show RFW!
