S9 here at 0034 UTC tune in with a jazzy thumping instrumental, ID's at 0035 and 0036 UTC
0045 UTC Thanks for the shoutout X-FM :) Sounding really good tonight here...nice audio!
0120 UTC Still S9 here in Western MA! I guess the band ain't going long tonight
0142 UTC Signal headed towards the noise for a few minutes, but back up now!
0200 UTC (C-Quam continues to rule the static )
0238 UTC Hey You, Pink Floyd...I know that song ;D (and the worms ate into his brain)
0243 UTC We're at S7 now, but the noise has abated somewhat during the Foo Fighters tune
EDIT: I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I turned off the PC and drifted off to sleep with the sounds of "Twilight Zone"-Golden Earring emanating from the NRD-515 sometime around 0300 UTC or thereabouts. Thank you for the entertainment last night Mr. Red Hat!!! I guess you signed off not too long after that.

Very nice S9+5 signal, great audio.  "Saturdays" by Chevelle @ 0041

Signal taking a big fade @ 0104, down to S5, but still listenable.
Back up to S9 @ 0135 with "My Song" by Jerry Cantrell.  Odd propagation tonight.
Back down to S5, barely audible @ 0149.  Lots of up and down fading.
"Locked Out of Heaven" by Bruno Mars @ 0212 [nice!]
S9 again @ 0220 with "Hipster Girl"
0243 - lots of fades - "Monkey Wrench" by Foo Fighters
0315 - "Dolphins Were Monkeys" by Ian Brown
0320 - shoutouts to everyone [thanks!].  getting ready to wrap things up.

Thanks for the epic show, and the great tunage!

XFM booming in here, no buzz on your audio so it must just be in your headphones.  Good strong and clear audio.

Another excellent signal. Think I heard the end of the sign on audio, with a lot of free radio-related audio clips, then into music. One of the best AM signals I've had from X-FM.
Thanks for the show!

Had to repost because your signal has come up tremendously over last few minutes. Ionospheric gods are favoring XFM tonight! If you can work some classic rock in tonight - Zeppelin will do - that would be great!

XFM S9 on peaks with some fluttery fades at 0056z. ID just before. 45333.
0143z - S9+20 on peaks just after the Police song.

0253z - Pink Floyd cover by Kittie - well done KK7  8). Still S9, some deeper and more frequent fades.
0302z - My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday from the Okonokos live album -
Thank you sir!  8)
0326z - S8 with a nearly S7 noise floor at the end.

Thanks for the show tonight RH. Happy Thanksgiving.
