DJ Dick Weed thinks something is played out, complaining about no posts on HFU...oh wait....now there's a post.  Wondering if they were being boycotted (and if so, who did they piss off??).  

Monster Mash is way too played out.....but you should play it anyway :D

2258 UTC - talking about The Walking Dead (DJ Dick Weed is not very big on it)

Powerful and punchy audio tonight.  S9 +10 to S9 +20, very little noise on the base radio.  Able to hear you guys on the portable!  Armchair copy tonight, probably the best I've heard Radio Free Whatever.  

2302 UTC - "Radio Free Whatever" ID into "I Want Candy" - maybe a dance mix or something (seems more spaced out, maybe a bit of reverb in there too?)

2307 UTC - Some peskie QRM from 6965 LSB
2308 UTC - "Welcome to the Radio Free Whatever Halloween Spectacular" - they'll play Monster Mash only if I call in and beg for it - I really hope that phone is a burner and not actually a landline ;)

2324 UTC - Signal dropped a bit, down to S7 or so, considerably more noise.  Something about Radio Free Whatever QSL art or t-shirts (maybe?)

2328 UTC - Signal dropping even more, being overwhelmed by (local) QRN at points :(

2309 S & the Banshees - "Halloween"
2314 long instrumental - "Zombie"
2314 DW and Stavin show off their pipes; new RFW T shirt at https://www.booster.com/radio-free-whatever
2330 "Dr. Spooky Show"
2337 "Pet Semetary" - signal down to S7 with selective fading, but still good copy here
0023 Came back down to hear Echo & TBM, DJDW proclaiming that their butts have officially been kicked by the ionosphere

Thanks guys!

Excellent signal here. Thanks comrade!
Big crash in the signal around 2325, almost gone now.

Checking the SDR recording, they came on at 2240, talked for a few minutes, didn't see any loggings, and went QRT. Then came back on at 2252 and did the show.

For the record, shirt campaign appears to be;

White shirts https://www.booster.com/radio-free-whatever

Hoodies https://www.booster.com/rfwhoody

Fighting with projects ATM, too many sets of headphones on, no radio in sight :(
