X-FM 6950 AM

Very rough conditions tonight but audio sneaking through at 0310 UTC via a web rx in Oregon.  Noise floor about s5 or so and peaks of signal about s6.  Getting better as it gets dark.

Rough conditions is the truth, yowch!  I've got a carrier on LSB and USB, but only barely audible audio on AM.  Nothing discernable.  Darnit...  

Edited to add: Caught a clear XFM ID just after 0400 UTC, including a UTC time check.  I could briefly hear the presenter (OM) talking after that, but not much else.  Darn static!

Hi,

Extremely weak signal here in W. Europe at 0501-0518 UTC (sun shines!),
 with atmos statics, AM mode on 6950,1 after small drift,
 music with talk between records, maybe reggae at 0510.
(Had else to do, and at 0536 it was gone).
