Good reception, with almost 2 hours before my LSS   Wake Me up before you Go-go at 01:24 UTC.  Fair amount of static present on the band.  I'm located in Masset, BC, about 100 km due south from Ketchikan, AK.  Best heard on my 450' N unterminated Beverage.  73!

Superb reception on 02:37 recheck.  Great music selection, too.  Totally overpowering the static tonight.

Just a carrier at 03:51 UTC into Masset, BC measuring on low side of 6975.  Still 90 min until LSS, so perhaps things will improve with time.  Thanks for the effort!   Walt

Always nice to hear X-FM.  This time, on 6285, fair to good reception into Masset, BC Perseus SDR, and best heard via my 220 deg FLAG antenna!  (go figure).  A fair amount of summer static.  LSS doesn't occur until about 05:19, so still 90 minutes until then.  Thanks for the broadcast, as always!   73,  Walt

Into Victoria, it's much stronger (only 20 min until LSS).  Still with the summer static, though!

Excellent reception from Masset, BC Perseus receiver.  100 km south of Ketchikan AK.
"listen, MRI, Mix Radio International" by YL at 04:14 UTC.  Thanks for the heads up.  Best heard using ALA 1530 antenna aimed 130/310 degrees.  Despite only an S3 signal, with an almost zero noise floor, reception is really good!   Love to receive an eQSL to CANSWL (at) Gmail (dot) com.
Golden Nectar playing now (04:16 UTC)

Faded gradually.  Finally off at 05:19 UTC.  Thanks for the show!

After 6949.8 left the air at 03:55, migrated hear.  Fair to good signal at 04:02 into Masset, still almost 90 min to LSS.  Strange instrumental music (maybe the DJ's own?) as Shazaam cannot ID it....Love a QSL to CANSWL (at) Gmail (dot) com!

Desert Rat saying "Don't stop now" at 04:13 and gave the ID as Outhouse.  Desert Rat was rather strong here.

Fair to good reception over 1 1/2 hours before LSS into Masset, south of Ketchikan.  Nice music at 03:47 UTC:   It's More Fuin to Compute by Kraftwerk.   Love to get a QSL!   CANSWL (at) Gmail (dot) com. 
Music piece finished at 03:50, into another.  Again Kraftwerk with Computer World 2.  Possible robotic sounding ?ID at 03:53.  Can't make anything out, though.  Next song:  One Very Important Thought by Boards of Canada.
Frequency measuring 6949.81 now.   And off at 03h55 UTC    Thanks for the challenge!

Poor reception here in Masset, 100 km south of Ketchikan, AK.  Mind you, still almost 4 hours until local sunset (05:21...that's 10:21 PM in these northern latitudes!).  As I listen more, perhaps a little better.

Great reception into Victoria, BC from 01:00 tune-in.  Recording live now at 01:39 UTC.  Thanks for the memories!  Only slightly less strong from my remote Perseus SDR in Masset, BC.

Fair reception from 23:55 UTC tune-in from Victoria, on the west coast of Canada, and a full 3 hours from LSS!   In fact a lot stronger than WRMI's 100 kW from 5850 and 5950 transmitters.  Thanks for the programming!    73, Walt.

Continued to improve, but then really dropped off up to 02:58 UTC, and couldn't be sure whether still on.  Now at 03:12 or so, I can hear music again.  Was it Wolverine coming back on, or someone else?  Too weak to identify the songs.

Been listening to it for the past hour (now 01:33 UTC) and it's getting stronger and stronger.  Still 90 min to my LSS.  Live Your Life by Yuna.  Occ digital noise present, but not too often.  My sources state that this is a US National Guard ALE frequency.  Quick ID at 01:35, then into Crystallize by Lindsey Stirling.   Great reception.  I'd love an eQSL please!    CANSWL (at) gmail (dot) com.   Walt, in Victoria, BC on a Perseus SDR and a large diameter ALA 100LN aimed E/W

Cambodia by Kim Wilde at 01:55 with a solid S7 to S8 signal into Victoria now. 
Signed off at 01:59 UTC    Thanks!!!!
