Good signal at Smolinski SDR. But lots of heavy static crashing. 43m would be better but you have your reasons. Thanks for the show!

2355 static down to manageable levels. Good music. Still wish you'd select a band and time where I could listen at my home QTH, but beggars can't be choosers.

0019 still rocking with HF pirate radio's choicest cuts. Really, you and X-FM are the best at new and interesting music, but I do tend to lean more the indie-pop side of new music. So thank you.

0052 HFU shoutouts

0206 still going strong, SIO 555 at Westminster MD. Slight signal at the noise floor in Denver CO.

0212 sounds like DJ DW is wrapping up.... just as the signal is reaching here. Still listening at Smolinski SDR because it's a lot better there.

0213 QRT

143- Old TV or movie clip about "radio contact...newman...sounds like it," followed by OM recorded ID, "This is Radio Free What-EVERRRR!"
144- "Ok" by Mating Ritual.
