There when I turned on the radio.  A wide S6 data signal over top of them, but still copyable.
2310 - "I Got You" by Split Enz
2311 - Radio Free Whatever ID and into "Steady As She Goes" by The Raconteurs
2318 - DJ Dickweed wrapping things up with 'do whatever', and into Russian Nat. Anthem.
2321 - Hearing DJ Dickweed under the data signal, so maybe starting another show.  Rough copy at the moment.
2337 - "Never There" by Cake.  
2338 - DJ talking, but can't make it out with the data signal (which is up to S7 now).
2345 - seems to be off.  Signal is now on 8065 khz, about S5 here.
2352 - "The Walker" by Fitz and the Tantrums
2356 - ID by DJ Dick Weed and into "Trojans" by Atlas Genius [Shazam ID].  Poor to fair copy
0017 - now seems to be relaying/simulcasting Radio Illuminati, which is currently on 6930.
Dick Weed is streaming R. Illuminati online, so maybe they are playing that stream.
0117 - still playing Dick Weed's online stream.  Mostly S6 but some fades to the noise floor.  Fair copy.
0135 - "Walk This Way" by Aerosmith (relay of WFUQ on Dick Weed's online stream, I assume).  S7 and good copy
0136 - WFUQ ID (from retransmission of online stream), and into "Tom Sawyer" by Rush.
0217 - Dick Weed with Radio Free Whatever ID

Radio Free Whatever, 8065 AM, 0147, 8/15/16.  End of WFUQ rebroadcast when it went off the air into hard rock, RFW ID and more music.

S7 in somewhat noisy conditions.

Thanks for the show.

Catching the RFW relay here also at a S7 peaking to S9 and sounding good. Dickweed's RFW came on after sign off of WFUQ. Thanks my friend whoever you are! ;D ???
