Heard a few seconds of RFW sign on music at 0104.
S9 here, but really really high noise levels.

Here with S9+ signal at 0106 UTC tune-in with instrumental music and then Dick Weed with ID, mention of transmitter problems, and T-shirt plug "Can't get enough people to buy our !@#$%^ T-shirts!". Into hard rocking punk sounding tune at 0111 UTC
Signal well above the noise with ID at 0014, then right into 80's sounding garage rock song. Another Unid 80's tune at 0117 {Mr. Weed likes to play obscure tunes that are pleasing to the ear, but unrecognized by this 59 year old brain}
Signal strenth down now and the noise making copy difficult. T-shirt plug by Mr. Weed at 0123+. {Signal on 6872.6 was either gone or buried under the noise about 0102, so I switched to 6925 thanks to posting by Beerus Maximus.}
Signal picking up again here at 0134...S6 but mostly above the Rice Crispies propagation. Nothing at 0135 or so.....
I'm getting poor to fair audio again now at 0153 with Heavy Metal sounding tune.

Radio Free Whatever, 1-22-14, 0114-0202*, 6.925 AM, S4-6 here with music at 0114.  ID at 0120 and back into music.  Peaking S8 now at 0122.  ID at 0123 and mention of "....your radio comrade..."  announcer says he can send the link for t-shirt....okay...send me a qsl confirmation and the link for a t-shirt.....i wouldn't want the transmitter to go dark!  Back into music at 0125.  Quick promo/ID and back into music at 0128.  A little qrm but still into the music at 0147.  More talk of t-shirts at 0201 but announcer says "don't wear it to work."  off at 0202 with "bye radio comrades."

Radio Free Whatever, 1-22-14, *0221-0319*, 6.925U, sigs at S5-9, copy mucho mucho better now that he's in usb mode.....open with national anthem, t-shirt promo, and into music.........whoa.....BIG-TIME Power Jock ID/Promo at 0231 and back into music.....that sounded slick!  Also, "From us, to the ionosphere, to you, this is R. Free Whatever" at 0303.......again, nice.  Signal's pretty steady now at S7-9...good copy in usb mode.  off at 0319.

Nothing much intelligible in Alberta. Occasional blips rising out of the noise, with a generally obvious carrier.
