S9 here in Georgia and plenty of static from storms on the east coast.
Still nice to hear Dickweed and his sidekick on 6950 kHz.

Great to hear the Comrades again! Sounding good here with a S8 and great audio as always despite the static crashes. How about "Erotic City" by Prince if you can fit it in? Talking about having to leave the "Bunker" and the end of RFW. That sucks!  :( (Might have to use a relay? Thanks Dickweed and Stavin! Keep rocking the HF airwaves! Thanks Comrades for playing "Erotic City"!!!!!!!!!!
