Fair signal from RFW tonight in New Hampshire, S8 but lots of storm static tonight (was very weak at initial sign-on)

0020z RFW ID, Audio cutting in/out - problems with speech processor it seems

S8 signal at first catch, but very noisy and unpredictable...

0019 - Hearing UNID music
0019 - Hearing the melodious voices of DJ DickWeed and Stavin
0020 - Positive ID by DJ DickWeed as: "Radio Free Whatever"
          and into another UNID musical selection...

0021 - faded into the static...

Sorry, this is not one of your better outings

Tuned in at 0216utc, fair with storm static, got end of bcst, dickweeddj@gmail.com, R8 & dipole.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
