Listening via the NE Pennsylvania web SDR, where the signal is awesome! 10 kHz wide, some fades. Whether this is Dick Weed himself or a relay, thanks for the show.
1628 DJ Dick Weed bantering, talking about the MIXLR chat room where Chris Smolinski had said he was leaving to make some buffalo wings, which makes it clear that this is a relay of an old program. (I had checked MILXR earlier in the broadcast on the off chance that this might be online as well, but it's not.)
1630 new song
1726 RFW ended, another relay began. There was an ID but I was in another room and didn't understand it. It's not a pirate I know.
1728 echoey show introduction. I does sound like Glasscutter Radio or Grasscutter radio. Giving New York maildrop. (EIDT per Joe it's Radio Clandestine. Okay, that I'll buy.  ;D)

Probably the same SDR  I listen to him on, Mike K3FEF's setup, I'm active on the Facebook page there as well . Signal is better there than at my home qth near Niagara Falls but I am antenna handicapped.
