Too much storm static.
Hear music under the noise.

Just tuned into XLR8, S7 at peaks with the described heavy static.
Audio is good if it makes thru the static.

0218 UTC, ID"XLR8 " if my ears caught it right in all that static noise

Thanks for the show XLR8.

Heard it with a decent signal but TONS of static crashes. Thanks for the show nonetheless.

7/14/15, 0115-0200z approx.
6950 USB

My first catch of XLR8 with clear ID (not easy, IDs are much lower level than music audio).  Just happened to be outside with Palstar comparing an active antenna with short whip (built by Chris) to the RF Systems EMF antenna (very comparable!).

Wasn't watching the clock or taking notes, but heard Romeo Void "Girl in Trouble", Tom Petty, Midnight Oil "The Dead Heart", others.

Signal strongest before 0145z, peaking S9 with RF Systems EMF antenna strung along ground.  Good punchy audio too.  Well above usual summer noise until nearly 0200z.
