Post by: Echo_One on October 18, 2013, 0210 UTC
XFM on 6940 AM mode  with some sort of modern kind of music.

0211 - Time check and ID

0213 - Shout Out to me and Dimbulb

0214 - ID and mention of Sequin stereo

0214 - Male vocals

0219 - ID(?)

0220 - "Imagine" by Perfect Circle

0224 - ID and DJ chatter

0224 - "Take the World" by She Wants Revenge

0229 - ID and mention of some sort of radio

0229 - Male Vocals

0245 - ID, chatter and mention/shout out to me

0245 - Male Vocaled song

0252 - Golden Earring - Twilight Zone

0257 - ID and explanation of time checking

0258 - Depeche Mode - Policy of Truth

0308 - ID and quick DJ chatter

Question - why do pirates now give time checks?

If only XFM would play something I actually know  that isn't modern or rap... Some Queen would be nice! :D - I was born in 1988, XFM (but I know all the Queen songs anyway). I think the first band I followed was the Spice Girls.

E1 claws his way to the computer to salute XFM and shut down the PC before I fall asleep and drool into it. Thanks, good Sir, for all of the tunes - even if I didn't get most of them at all... Also want to thank you for the many shout outs you gave me. Hope to get a QSL card

XFM Shortwave heard 18 October 2013 from 0206 tune in on 6941AM. ID's and a hello sent to Echo One at 0212.

0214- ID'd as "This is XFM, the power of X in stereo," followed by "Imagine" sung by an UNID male vocalist.

SIO=353, putting in an S7 signal into northern New Jersey on the e1 + PAR End-Fed Z.

Thanks for the program tonight, X!
