S9+ and audio getting wider, +/- 12 or 13 khz @ 0115 with "Airwaves" by GusGus.
Occasional fades down to S4, so hoping band holds up.

0120 - barely audible :(

XFM booming in S9 to S9+20 at 0120 UTC on 6875 kHz AM with broadcast quality audio tonight.

Wavering between S7 and S9 now at 0125.  "Somewhere around here is the directory I'm looking for".  

"Broadcasting in C-QUAM Stereo from the United States to the World - this is X-FM Shortwave.  Music to the power of X!"

Some real nice audio frequency response.  Listening on the K2SDR with Sennheiser studio headphones - awesome bass and treble coverage RedHat!  Your signal sounds like you're next door.  

0129 - "The music sounds best...on XFM Shortwave"

Catching XFM here also on 6875 AM with a S8-9 and excellent audio but some fading involved with shouts to the HFU at 0121. Severe fadeout at 0126. How about the Pirate Radio tune I sent you some time back and also thanks for the awesome QSL's I received today! Rock on Redhat! Thanks for playing "Pirate Radio" even though never got a chance to hear due to the propagation gods not being very nice. :-\

0236 UTC, just turned on the radio and found what I assume is your carrier.  Sadly that's all it is here tonight.  I hope someone with good reception posts a recording.
