Strong signal at 01:38. Had some deep fades a few minutes ago, but seems pretty stable now. Conditions are pretty noisy.

0210 utc XLR8 ID
Sublime song. Haven't heard sublime in years.  Yeeaaarrrrrsssss.  This brings back memories of Sublime, Greenday, Weezer, and another band with a pumpkin on the album cover that was more tough.

Lots of qrm tonight but fair signal at times. Qsb made it hard to tune, but as soon as I got it, I heard an ID at 0222.

Been listening for the past 2 hours to mainly noise, but occasional fragments of unrecognisable songs.

Finally a clear "XLR8" ident at 03:26z and so XLR8 can go in the logbook. Thank you for the long show tonight guys - if it hadn't been quite as long, I never would have got you in the logbook!

Started off fairly strong on the SDR recording, but then got weaker over time.
