Voice of Captain Ron 6930
« on: April 21, 2012, 0256 UTC »
4/21/12, 6930 USB, 0253z: Voice of Captain Ron ID, just fixed some antenna problem, moved from 6925, coming in better here.  Shout-out to Sealord, jfarley.  "I'm needing radio therapy."  Reminds me, I'm needing a beer...
0321z: Still hanging in there but longer fade outs than other recent shows.

Got Captain Ron here in Iowa as well. About an S7 on the meter. 444 Nice signal!

0448: I've still got you, but you're down a bit. Maybe an S5 with some dips. Not bad, but more like a 322 now.

0505: Crazy signals tonight, everything from S8+ to into the noise. Still good to hear a Friday night edition of 'radio therapy' though. Thanks Captain!
