You were right, Markokpik, it's XLR8.

Clear ID @ 0054.

"Cinderella" @ 0057.

Still sounding good with very good audio @ 0136.

Decent signal here tonight and some great tunes.

Any chance, XLR8,  you may make a playlist available?

UnId, 6955 U, 0043, 2.27.16.  Unidentified music.  When I was trying to tune in the signal better, there was a pause and might have been XLR8 but I'm not sure.

Firm XLR8 ID at 0054.

Hi Julio, welcome to the forum. XLR8 usually IDs itself. Listen for a breathy sounding voice.  Thats great you hear it in Guatemala! I'm in California and its one of the stronger stations East of me.
