0127 copying here with a good signal
0133 no longer getting that good of a signal, hopefully just a temporary dip
0133 off suddenly
0134 back on 4095
0137 "Under the Stars" Morning Parade, signal fair now
0141 Redhat on the mic.... "everything is going wrong and I like it that way.... it's very cold somewhere under the stars"
0143 xfmshortwave@gmail.com
0145 HFU shoutouts
0148 "Factory of Faith" Red Hot Chili Peppers
0153 signal pretty poor now, barely there. Come on, ionosphere!
0157 using the KPH kiwi SDR at Point Reyes, CA now. Hearing Redhat on the mic. (will have to keep hunting, there's some dasher audible in the upper side band on this SDR.)
0206 Signal has made a comeback in Denver.... "I Sat By The Ocean" Queens of the Stone Age
0208 X-FM ID into "Welcome to the North" The Music
0214 Redhat on the mic, will play a request from refmo...

Weak signal with instrumental music as of 0131 UTC.
0133: off?
0137: mixing with the noise here on 4095. I've got a couple ute-like interference noises.
0150: I can hear the RHCP song slowing rising above the noise here as it's nearly fully dark outside.
0156: Can hear Redhat chatting, but not quite copy-able yet. I tried listening in USB to potentially boost the audio, but that's apparently the half of the frequency where the ute noise is residing.
0215: Redhat's talking again, but the signal's still struggling to stay atop the noise here.
0220: Heard part of the Drowning Pool song, as the signal's peaking into very fair reception at times. But then it dives back into the noise.
0230: Some nice audio on "Video Kid" by The Birthday Massacre, then at 0232 UTC, I could hear Redhat chat a bit and clearly give an "X-FM" ID into the next song (Death Cab of Cutie's "Northern Lights"). Still no better than fair at the peaks, but it's mostly staying above the noise.
0236: Death Cab for Cutie into a great old Two Door Cinema Club song. Apparently, I don't need to make requests, as these songs are smack in the middle of my wheelhouse.
0239: Redhat identified the previous songs, then into a Blink 182 song "Obvious."
0242: Redhat chatting again, giving shoutouts and reading emails/posts. Talked about getting in reception reports for those who want paper QSLs (I'll be doing that!).
0247: Redhat named the previously played songs, gave another ID or two into The Clash's "London Calling." (Thanks, oly1959, for requesting my favorite band. Feb. 7th was International Clash Day!)
0252: "Headlights" by Morning Parade, then Redhat back on at 0255 UTC with an intro into the next song, "Sleepwalking" by The Chain Gang of 1974. (Signal's good enough now between fades that I can get Shazam to ID the tunes.)
0300: A quick email address, time check and into "Celestica" by Crystal Castles.
0332: Checked back and heard music, but that annoying noise is overcoming the X-FM signal again. Thanks for another great show, Redhat!

Hey redhat. S8/9 here, but fading into the annoying noise I keep talking about!
New house...if you're paying, sure ;) (unplugged a bunch of cables...sounding better now...hah)
Hitting +10dB, getting real wide at 0239. Mostly only hearing the lows, though. Radio Verdad on 4055's a bit stronger and clearer - bump up that power :)
BTW, if you happen to see this again redhat - got any Animal Collective? Maybe Fireworks off Strawberry Jam, or The Purple Bottle off Feels?
-
There is Red hat with X-FM with music!
SIO 333 Not the greatest sig tonight
-
SINPO - 33333 here on 4095 AM in PA
Good selection of music but the signal is not like has been in the past.
Love the more metal music tonight.
Keep up the work and 73's. Thank for the music.

Hello Redhat. Just joined the party on 4095 at 0209 with "Welcome to the North" playing via the K3fef SDR in Pennsylvania with a solid S9 and excellent audio as always. XFM ID at 0213. Signal at my QTH is just 1 S-unit above the noise at a S9. Also wanted to say thanks for the QSL's! They are awesome!
Now talking about the crappy noise emitting LED bulbs from Walmart at 0218. Also Redhat, could I request a tune from the Clash if possible. Thanks for the awesome show RH! Keep rocking the HF airwaves! :)
0246-Thanks for the shout out RH and for playing "London Calling"! Excellent track!
Your welcome Treehouse SWL, The Clash is one of my favorite bands also! :)

"From somewhere under the stars": Redhat with signal peaking up around S7. I'm recording it, but need to wait for the display to shut off for that noise to disappear. When that happens, I'd rate the signal as fair/good or good
