XFM 6930 AM Music
« on: November 30, 2011, 0346 UTC »
Strong carrier here, fair modulation on the music, talking between songs with poor modulation. Played Wooden ships by CS&N.  Then Money 4 Nothing by Dire Straits @ 0345.
ID as XFM @ 0348.  Said they will have a couple more songs then calling it a night.
ID again at 0354, then "There goes the Neighborhood" by Sheryl Crow  SINPO 55444 in Kentucky.
Talking between songs sometimes sounds like they are far from the microphone, other times it is good.
They may have reduced power at 0400.  Now 44333.  Playing "Protection" by Massive Attack 0405.
ID and abruptly off at 0406.

X-FM with a "lower power" show. S1 signal with S1 noise here in Chicago. Just getting strong enough to hear the Dire Straits tune, then back down.

S7 signal, in and out of the S6 noise.  I was able to copy some of "Wooden Ships" and "Money for Nothing"  and also heard the ID at 0348 before you faded to inaudible.

Thanks, X!

Weak signal at first, with almost no audio, but steadily improving, to around S9 by sign off.
