Great  S9 +15 signal here.  Fantastic audio!  Great to hear you again!  Wow what a show, Thank you!  Have heard you from the beginning of the show, not trying to be quite as you were talking about people being tonight around 04:24 but just kicking back enjoying the show with some adult beverages!

Strong S9 here with good modulation, but lots of very rapid flutter.
Looks like flutter may be caused by another (weak) carrier about 10 hz from XFM
Playing 'Girl Like You' by the Smithereens @ 0247z
Thanks for the show!

6925 AM

3:22 ut tuned in to Pink Floyd
Variable S7 - S9+10 sig - awesome audio
4:03 ut  thanks for the shout out -
Too bad for the static tonight - not worth recording - BUT - I'm listening in stereo by mixing the audio from two of the tuners on the Excalbur,
Using AMS - with USB on one and LSB on the other..
5:20 ut - Ending tonights show - sig down a bit average S8 now -
I see the auroral activity is up to level 9 right now - have to go out and check the skies.

As always - Excellent broadcast - Thanks X

"That's interesting, because he was saying he was using C-QUAM and as far as I know, the Kahn stereo method was the only one that did the stereo channels on the seperate sidebands thing."

I believe you are correct Shelby - It is a kind of "fake" stereo , possibly from a slight delay between to two receivers decoding the same signal simultaneously.
Anyway - XFm broadcasts fantastic sounding audio, professional production, interesting selections, strong signal --always exciting for me to hear his shows!

Recorder Catch on 6925USB

Seems I punched out a little early last night, but got a reasonably good recording of the show which I was able to listen to in part during lunch today.

Solid S9+ signal and thanks redhat!
