There is so much noise (crackling, buzzing, and fading) that it impossible to really make a good log entry.
Current weather conditions are; freezing rain mixed with snow and heavy overcast.
Radio used is an Sangean ATS-909x and I just have the antenna (longwire) that came with the radio wrapped around the window.
Since this is my official first pirate log entry and X-FM is the first pirate I ever logged, I wish I could give you better results.
I am supposed to tell you that Al sent me.
Could I please have an QSL or eQSL even though this is a really small entry?
I have sent a detailed report to XFMshortwave@gmail.com. My fingers are now crossed. ;)
