Post by: Beerus Maximus on March 09, 2013, 0227 UTC: Playing The Streets at 0226 UTC. Announcer must be a Radio 1 fan.
Title: Re: X-FM 6950 AM C-QUAM 0206z
Post by: Ron Hunsicker on March 09, 2013, 0227 UTC: Variable in Wyomissing. Signal 3/5 but noise is 3/5, too.

Found on 6950 at 0219. Announcer talked about pirate radio and music until 0225, when music began.

Post by: Beerus Maximus on March 09, 2013, 0231 UTC: Mr. XFM, I only mentioned Radio 1 because the only place I've ever heard The Streets is on Rob Da Bank's Radio 1 show, which is excellent BTW. Once a week show that is great for finding new music that I bet you'd like:

Post by: Zane on March 09, 2013, 0242 UTC: XFM with a nice sounding S7 signal - little fade - clear audio - a bit crashy here.

Lot's of ID's around 0230z and sounding like another great live show. Stream of dance covers/mixes.

0437z - Solid S8 signal
0453z - "This is XFM Shortwave" ID
0500z - Redhat (with the Professor) talking about pirate radio bringing us some alternatives in music - the purpose of XFM.
0505z - Transistor - Flow
0512z - Off - Thanks for the show.

Post by: Andrew Yoder on March 09, 2013, 0257 UTC: Tuned in for a few min so far...Heard "Time" with the extended psych section.
BDM requested the Electric Prunes "I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night"
Talking about how there are people listening to pirates from all walks of life, then about RTN being on the air and how he always plays music from vinyl (and that he might try an all-vinyl show)

I think there are stations on 6925, 6930, 6940, & 6950 right now!
Thanks for the show!
Andrew

Post by: Kilokat7 on March 09, 2013, 1504 UTC: Here's stereo audio of the last hour or so of X-FM's C-Quam broadcast last night:

6950 kHz X-FM C-QUAM STEREO 0417-0511 UTC 09MR13.mp3 (http://amdxer.com/download/DX_Audio_Clips_Other/6950%20kHz%20X-FM%20C-QUAM%20STEREO%200417-0511%20UTC%2009MR13.mp3)

I'm using Sodira with the Perseus SDR to demodulate the stereo. The bandwidth was set to 15 kHz wide, and then opened up to 18-1/2 kHz wide about 0:32 minutes into the recording. The signal was a consistent S6-S7 throughout this recording. Too bad conditions weren't a bit quieter last night. Still sounded good though. Thanks for the show Redhat!
