S9 @ 0057.  Excellent audio!
Dick Weed messing around, doing an audio check.
Decides to play a few tunes for us, since propagation is still decent.
0101 - "Home Soon" by Dope Lemon.  [never heard of this band before, gonna have to check them out]
0104 - "State Of Mind" by Satchmode
0113 - "Real Love Baby" Father John Misty
0126 - HUGE fade. barely audible now.

 It is Dickweed/RFW back on the air, S7 here. ;D
 You have been rockin' the HF airwaves this evening on both LSB and USB. Still sounding good at 0253 with a S7. Thanks DJ Dickweed for the great evening listening! Got some new tunes for the IPod! Thanks again buddy! ;D

I posted under RFW but apparently there's a separate thread? Hearing DJDW weakly at 0058. Music at 0101.

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

Great propagation here - don't leave!

0137z: Hey, thanks for returning!!!  Solid S9 here in LSB now.  Thanks for the tunes tonight, DW!
0139z: Like a switch, the signal tanked here from a solid S9, just above the noise floor now.

Radio Free Whatever, 6940 USB & LSB, 0129, 3/26/17.  End of a song, Dickweed talking about poor propagation so he's signing off.  Back on 6940 LSB at 0138 with music, ID and talk then more music.

S8 the whole time here.

Back on USB about 0148.  Dickweed cussed out a Chicago area listener since he thought he faded out.  S7 here now.
