Radio Free Whatever 6950 USB 2159 UTC 13 Mar 2016
« on: March 13, 2016, 2159 UTC »
2159 Just signing on now, an impressive S9+40 dB !! here.

Maybe I need to check the backyard for transmitters  ;D

DJ Dickweed and Assistant Stavin having some audio routing troubles, although the audio does sound good here.

Going QRT to fix the problem.

2207 Back on the air.

S9+15

2212 - Ain't No Easy Way Out...
2213 - Canned ID for RFW
2215 - Amplifier is having a fit... trying to sort things out...
2218 - You Wanted a Hit - LCD Sound System
2228 - Iggy Pop music...

I'll agree with you, always best to re-tune the antenna system after moisture or rain.
Burn that condensate right off of them valves, too!!!

Radio Free Whatever, 6950U, 2325 - 2332, 3.13.16.  Punkish music, 2324 ID, more similar music, DJ Dick Weed and Stafan announcing songs, giving contact information, "Do Whatever," 2332 off.

Good.

Thanks for the show!
