Yes very strong signal here at my current QTH. It's always a bit of a challenge for me to try and have to tune in a single side band signal but after a while I've gone the Knack as you can say. Awesome audio again. I hope to get an idea on the station.

Was approx 454 into Winter Park, FL ~20 minutes ago; deep fade in the last 10 minutes or so. 00:50 XLR8 ID then off? Or basement-deep fade.
00:52 past hour Radio Anarchy gave a shout praising the music for XLR8. Nothing more heard.
