About an SIO 333 444 at 0203z. Great to hear XFM again.

You were asking how this frequency is working vs 6975 or so: The SDR waterfall is showing strong radar around 6955 to 6975, so 6875 was probably a good choice.

I seem to be in a large propagational hole here...all I've been able to hear is a weak carrier since sign on.  :( This is unusual for me here with X-FM
0235 UTC Finally, I have some weak audio! Heard OM talking, then into a punk rock tune the boys in the chat say is by the Dead Kennedy's
0325 UTC Signal is starting to peak at S4 during fade ins now :) Redhat talking at 0326 UTC "Music to the Power of X"...rundown of songs played...somewhere under the stars...into another request"
0329 UTC Live TC and email addy and reports to HFU, FRC, and FRN.

Absolutely no hint of XFM tonight at my location in eastern Nebraska @ 0207.
Can't even hear any hint of a carrier.
