Nice signal from RFW in Central Iowa tonight, peaking at about an S8 on the Perseus and the SAL. Lots of shout outs to people on the HFU!

SIO 434

Thanks for the show!

0132, faint signal, uncopyable tonight   :^(
Band conditions must be flaky, normally you're +15 or better here

This is also a late posting. Caught RFW in the MN north woods with a really great signal, 5-6 on the meter and sounding really good. Talking about Win 10 and playing some really good tunes. Signed off early due to poor propagation. Thanks Dickweed. :)
