Merely a carrier here at the moment....  :(
0000 UTC Still very tough copy here, and now there are some peskies on the frequency
0045 UTC Signal is coming up a bit but still getting hammered by static crashes...finally able to shazam a song though! "Never Ever"-Royksopp featuring Susanne Sundfor
0055 UTC I'm hearing the voice of redhat now, but not sure what he's saying. Signal is up to S5 but the storm static is S7
(If it wasn't for the static crashing, I'd be able to listen and enjoy the show as the signal is solid)

hello everyone !
this is a live stream from RedHat - we are working out the "quirks" - everything seems to be operating well now except the band conditions arent too good at the moment - hopefully the band will get better as time goes on :)
hope everyone enjoys the entertainment and weekend - big thanks and hat tip to legendary RedHat for collaborating and working with me on this and making this possible !
edit - 0043z - the band has stayed "long" for the most part with a few occasional exceptions.

Very enjoyable Turkish music!

0047 Faint signal copyable out here, where we still have another 90 minutes or so of daylight. Hopefully we're in for a long show. Strong signal considering. Thanks for the show!

0100z Had been listening for a while but the signal was down in the S9 storm static, but has come up nicely now to S8-S9 and I could copy a lot of the comments, shout-outs, etc.
0110z Unfortunately this peak didn't last too long, back down in the noise now

a big thanks to RedHat for collaborating with me to make this live transmission happen and a big thanks to everyone for listening to his awesome show.
i am honored and pleased to be able to do this for him - hopefully in the future, i will have C-QUAM working as well.
i am looking forward to doing this again and hopefully, band conditions for NVIS will be better too.
have a great weekend everyone !

X-FM relay, 0109 - 0134.  Mostly mellow ballads with Redhat talking and occasional ID's. 

Poor - fair here with noise rising and lowering throughout.  Poor during noisy periods, fair when the noise was down.

A big Thank You to The Relay Station for making last night's show possible and for sticking through the technical challenges of getting this off the ground.

Also Thank You to the listeners who stuck with us through the marginal propagation to hear the show.  You guys make it all worth while!

An aircheck will be released in a few days for those that want to listen to the program.  QSL's will be forthcoming in the next few days as well.

Aircheck for those that missed the show.  Sorry for the weird file extension, this is what the streaming encoder spits out.
