WFDR 6935 USB 2212 UTC 11 OCT 2020
« on: October 11, 2020, 2213 UTC »
S9 and good quality here

2212 FDR speech in progress, from the 1940 campaign
2225 Three-minute long expression of admiration for Jefferson - that would get him "canceled" today
2229 Fireside Chat, Christmas 1943
2233 Address at a union dinner, Washington, D.C., September 23, 1944. Static level is creeping up.
2245 Sill there, I think, but now not copyable due to static. Too bad, I was enjoying it.

Thanks for the show!

Signal is S8 and is clear. Thanks for the broadcast.

Possibly FDR giving a speech. He mentions Republicans in 1933.

Tuned in at 2230.
FDR speech.
Lots of noise.  SIO 322

I caught only a few phrases about morons in politics.  Labor being called unpatriotic only to be embraced every four years. Heard dates 1933 and 1929 crash. Republican leaders mentioned.  Defeating Facism talk.  End at 2246.  Sounded like ID was WFDR.
