Fading/weak in Chicago area ...... hard to discern what's being played.

The "Radio Free Whatever" id was crystal clear, music back down in the noise floor.

S9+ carrier, audio a little low but good fidelity.  I think playing a song by Franz Ferdinand @ 0010z
ID @ 0012 and then reading our posts.

S9+20 from the New Hampshire remote

S3 from my own radio

0015 - female singer

0018 Easy Lover - Phil Collins

0028 - ID

0032 - Mention of Assistant Stephen not there due to masturbating

0033 - Midnight City

0037 - ID and Jingles

0037 - UNID track

0041 - terrible sine wave or something over the top of RFW

0051 - ID and another shout out to me

0107 - Don't Stop Believing (un-expectantly burst into tears the moment it plays... Thanks, Dickweed *smiles in remembrance*) Suddenly beginning to fade out in the NH remote and my own radio is now static filled. Going to find another remote if possible.

0114 - signal lost / cd?

Good Morning from the UK to RFW

#

0031 - Rather funny comments to me from Dickweed! (Dickweed, Sue me if I get a few things wrong... :D Thanks for the shout out though - very nice of you).

You know, I lost an Aunt yesterday, but having Dickweed taking the time to shout me out several times has somewhat lifted my spirits. I know you are not normally in the way of doing requests, but I don't suppose you have Faithfully by Journey, do you?

Echo1 and Mentholyptus, I signed off with Journey. The band just happened to be collapsing at that moment here by coincidence too. That's why you heard no more RFW. Just talked to Assistant Steven on the phone and he sends his best to you too Echo.

New England started going bad for me tonight around 2300, at the end of Pirate Radio Boston's show.
I tried tuning RFW in several times starting @ 0000, but no luck. Propagation to New England at later hours hasn't been in my favor lately. I'm sure that'll change soon, and RFW will be its usual 15-20 over for me again.
