Radio Free Whatever, 6920am, 9-10-13 44333
S8 on peaks with fades down to S5. Sounds like there's some QRM in there; hearing some talking going on in the backround.

0122z - RFW ID, then Jesus Jones, Right Here Right Now
0125z - Roxxy Music - Love is the Drug
0128z - RFW ID
0136z - The Legendary Dick Weed telling us about audio being fed back and retransmitted. Must be the QRM I'm hearing!
0157z - Nine Inch Nails - Not hearing that QRM now - maybe it was pesques.

Radio Free Whatever on 6920 kHz AM,

0123 "Love is the Drug" Roxy Music

Good signal S-9 with some pescadore interference on LSB.
SINPO=43434

Listening on 6921.9 now so I can notch out most of the peskies.
Sounding good there.
