Tuned in via Chris' kiwi SDR, naturally his report of weak signal reception applies to that receiver as well.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

2201 getting RFW at my own QTH in Denver, CO, USA now. Pretty weak but comrades distinct.
2215 starting to come up, I'd rate this as a fair signal now.
2355 Don't stop now, comrades!

Good signal in New Hampshire, S8 and nicely above the noise

2200z ID and tunes list (just back from the loo)
2218z If you've got a request... he's happy to play it (post your request here, or to djdickweed@gmail.com)
2245z ID, still sounding good, S9

Well then, how about "Michael Jackson - Rock With You" (OK, OK, maybe "Metric - Gold Girls Guns" is closer to your taste?)

2252z Thanks DJDW...... (The broken glass lady is Annie Lennox)
2257z Blondie - Heart of Glass (was gonna suggest "One Way Or Another")
2320z Signal has dropped to S5-S6 now, a bit down in the noise, making copy tough (also a pesky QSO on frequency now and then doesn't help)
