Tuned in just before "Everybody Knows" started. I have a weak het on the frequency that's keeping me from using the sync detector
I've been listening to the past hour or so on an SDR in Utah. Still decent on my own receiver, though
-
Tuned in at 0003 on Normal IL sdr, S9+10 to S9+30 signal but much powerline hash, song "everybody knows" by Leonard Cohen, I'm listening in QAM and hearing it in stereo, song "squeezebox", fired up local receiver and actually getting good S9+20 reception here at home but without powerline hash, at 0027utc tuned on on Peoria IL sdr with clean S9+20 and listening in CQUAM stereo, at 0035utc switched to Champaign IL sdr with even cleaner S9+20+ signal and listening in glorious CQUAM stereo, BTW, local reception has dropped to S9 with noise, at 0110 song "werewolves of London", thanks for the nice program. (edit) Later I tuned around on my Sony 2010 and heard XFM with just a rod antenna, signal varied between fair and poor.
