Assuming this is RFW with "We Like To Party" by Vengaboys at 0329. Nice signal but audio a little hot.

Not too bad- about an S7 in south jersey. But it fades in and out a lot.

Can hear them in northern Canada but not strong enough to listen to for long. Hopefully the band will pick up.
Please QSL to MaplRadio@gmail.com

Lots of garbage on the lower sideband by the looks of the waterfall in SDR Console.
Products extend down  to 6923 and up to 6929, ~6Khz total width.

I'd paste a screen shot, but haven't quite figured out how to do it.

Um, no. This is clearly not the REAL RFW. Cool to have inspired fans though. Don't forget radio comrades:
This will be available for your purchase in just a few days. Price?? I don't know yet. Probably between $20-$30 with shipping. Just think of how envious all your neighbor comrades and ham radio buddies will be when you sport a sexy RFW t-shirt!
E-mail me at dickweeddj@gmail.com if you are interested in getting one. I will send you the link when the press is hot.

I can barely hear it here. I can tell its music. I could ID a song if I knew it.  Some kind of fast beat now at 0405.
Sometimes I hear a voice along with the music like its interference.

Interference that sounded like a tone. It is stronger than your transmission here. Another some seconds later.

Uncensored moon landing comms at 0432 UTC (pretty funny) on UN-REAL RFW.

REAL RFW T-shirt looks awesome. Hopefully I can stuff my bloated beer gut into one of these.
