 ::) trying to get some ID as music is total wash for me.
I heard " This is Dick Weed"  Signal peaks to S7 without pre-amp engaged. Coming up more steady at 2131 UTC.
Foot Hills Monitoring Station (non FCC affiliated) :-X
Came back hearing Dick Weed and " doctor doctor".. comments about propagation? Yeah, maybe going long hearing y'all in in that "Other Carolina"..

(Then nothing at 2200 and 2210,
but some music again at 2215, not at 2220)
