2158 S3 signal in Colorado. Not too shabby, comrades. Thanks for the show!
2219 Dick Weed on the mic
2220 HFU shoutouts
2226 Pretty good signal now, comrade. Here's how it sounded about 2216z: https://youtu.be/zh0X9LKX7Ws
2238 signal pretty faded now but still above the noise with some fair peaks. Was checking NE Pennsylvania web SDR and no trace of it there.
2242 Dick Weed on the mic, email given, then off

RFW, 6950 USB, 2142 briefly, then 2157, 11/12/17.  Initially tuned in to contemporary dance music.  Tuned away for something else.  Came back to 90's sounding music, 2200 canned ID into similar song.  Signal abruptly dropped off just before Dick Weed began to talk about something weird happening, then popped back up at about 2208. 

Solid S5 and audible here.
