Very strong signal with clear audio, just a few static crashes here and there.

Started with announcements that XFM was going to broadcast, then into audio clips from "Pump Up the Volume" (man, I haven't seen that movie in a long time, think I still have it on VHS around here somewhere), then into Big Country.

Just tuned in at 0157 after RFW closed down. Solid S6 signal here with a fair amount of atmospheric snap, crackle, and pop. Excellent audio is coming through really good though!
0211 UTC DJ Redhat with chat, shoutouts into tunage at 0214 UTC
0229 UTC Thanks for the shoutout DJ Redhat!
The storm static seems to have diminished a bit over the last 15 minutes....

Between DJ Dickweed and DJ Redhat, my musical education for the new millenium has made great leaps and bounds ;)
0346 UTC "Walking On the Moon"-Police (there, I could ID one of the songs!)
Signal is a nice steady S8 here...
0410 UTC and still a great signal...time to put the NRD on the timer and fall asleep to the Power of X...thanks for the great evening DJ Redhat! :)

Sunday morning edit(Fell asleep to the sound of George Carlin....time uncertain ;D)

Mad props to my radio homie. Sounds good. You thump the subwoofer. Dick Weed respects the sub woofer, especially on SW

Hello Redhat. Just got home and check the SDR and noticed I have 4 recordings and catching XFM here with a S8-9 and peaks hitting S15, audio sounding really good and ID at 0250. If you are doing requests, how about some KORN. Thanks for rocking the airwaves this evening, glad I made it home in time to listen. Have a great weekend! :D
Thanks for playing Freak On A leash-Great tune!!!!!!

Strong signal and good audio here in eastern Nebraska.  Despite static crashes, best I have heard X-FM at my location to date.

Signal strength improving here in N Alabama at 0340.  Shout-outs to listeners, frequent time checks, into music by TV On The Radio.

Typically excellent audio quality!
