Just noticed them signing off on the waterfall, so I checked the SDR recording. About an SIO 222-333 here.

2135 Sign on music.
2137 DJ Dickweed with an ID. Talking about his electric bill.
2139 Asking if anyone can hear him.
2152 Off.

2159 Signing on again.
2201 DJ Dickweed talking about his earlier transmission, he didn't see any reports so he was going to check on his equipment.  Still rough copy here.
2203 Into the music.
2221 The signal is getting a little better, maybe SIO 333.

Occasional bits of music pop out of the noise here, buts that's about it.

At 2330, the band suddenly opened up to a nice S9.

2310 Tuned in via NE Pennsylvania SDR (ain't no way 43m is going to make it from the east coast in this daylight). S9 +10 peaks, wide signal (over 4 kHz) clear signal, seems to be slightly off frequency, as it sounds best at 6940.06. Thanks for the show.
