Was listening to the 5185 frequency via the Atwater, Ohio, SDR, where the X-FM signal is OK, but this frequency's signal is VERY GOOD. Not yet making it out here directly to the West Coast, however ...
0010 UTC: Redhat talking about his plans to play new music, then talking on the phone to a listener from California listening via a Pennsylvania SDR.
0013 UTC: Redhat gave email, then took another call, this one from Irish from parts unknown.
0015 UTC: Redhat explaining who Irish is, doing HFU shout-outs, canned X-FM ID, MRI ID, and then "Don't Matter" by Kings of Leon.
0020 UTC: Now listening via the Northern Utah SDR, which has a good signal as the sun gets closer to setting out west here. This SDR also is receiving the 6285 USB relay pretty well.
0022 UTC: X-FM canned ID into "The Emptiness Machine" by Linkin Park.
0025 UTC: Canned ID into "Monsters" by All Time Low (feat. Demi Lovato and blackbear).
0028 UTC: Redhat taking another phone call from a caller talking about 5185 frequency's reception and making a music request.
Redhat, can you play a song by Sprints, the Irish indie rock band who dropped their debut album earlier this year?
0031 UTC: Redhat back on the mic talking again, reading emails, talking about who else is on the air.
0034 UTC: "Dalai Lama" by Rammstein.
0040 UTC: X-FM and MRI IDs into "Burn the Witch" by Queens of the Stone Age.
0044 UTC: Canned ID into "How Not to Drown" by CHVCHES & Robert Smith (with a quick Stereo Tools promo spoken over the early part of the song).
0049 UTC: Redhat back on the mic, reviewing the previously played songs, and reading emails. Then urged listeners to vote and getting up to date on HFU shout-outs.
0058 UTC: "High and Low Places" by Beach Weather.
0101 UTC: X-FM and MRI IDs, then "What Do I Have to Do?" by Stabbing Westward.
0105 UTC: "Ulysses" by Franz Ferdinand. Toward the end of the song, sounds like another operator's trying to talk over this relay. Now talking over Redhat, too.
***
0214 UTC: Redhat doing a long list of HFU shout-outs as he gets ready to end the program. Says he may try to get back on the air soon again, thanks the relay services, and goes out with "How I Need You" by Supernova 1006.
0217 UTC: MRI ID as the song started.
Great to hear you again, Redhat!

Reviewing my Perseus wav files, 6865U is coming in at fair/good level with XFM relay via MRI. Tuned in at 00:16 UTC, well before my local sunset near Masset, BC. QRM'd about 01:08 talking about 3860 bad ham activity much stronger than the wanted station, XFM. 6865U not nearly as strong as 6935 which is pounding in! Much improved later, though on 6865U. Lots and lots of shout-outs.
01:45 Drive, She Said by Stan Ridjway
01:54 No Where to Go by Brian Molko (quite good reception now, and able to use 6 kHz wide USB....nice audio!)

02:14 A long list of all the listeners on the various frequencies from HFU. Followed by thanks to the various relays.
