Post by: Skipmuck on November 23, 2014, 0042 UTC: S9 here at 0034 UTC tune in with a jazzy thumping instrumental, ID's at 0035 and 0036 UTC
0045 UTC Thanks for the shoutout X-FM :) Sounding really good tonight here...nice audio!
0120 UTC Still S9 here in Western MA! I guess the band ain't going long tonight
0142 UTC Signal headed towards the noise for a few minutes, but back up now!
0200 UTC (C-Quam continues to rule the static )
0238 UTC Hey You, Pink Floyd...I know that song ;D (and the worms ate into his brain)
0243 UTC We're at S7 now, but the noise has abated somewhat during the Foo Fighters tune
EDIT: I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I turned off the PC and drifted off to sleep with the sounds of "Twilight Zone"-Golden Earring emanating from the NRD-515 sometime around 0300 UTC or thereabouts. Thank you for the entertainment last night Mr. Red Hat!!! I guess you signed off not too long after that.

Post by: Tom S on November 23, 2014, 0047 UTC: XFM booming in here, no buzz on your audio so it must just be in your headphones. Good strong and clear audio.
Title: Re: got on on 6955 khz AM
Post by: Andrew Yoder on November 23, 2014, 0047 UTC: Another excellent signal. Think I heard the end of the sign on audio, with a lot of free radio-related audio clips, then into music. One of the best AM signals I've had from X-FM.
Thanks for the show!
