Title: X-FM 6285 AM 0225 UTC 31 MAY 2020
Post by: MDK2 on May 31, 2020, 0225 UTC
Big signal here, ambient bits of audio about radio
0230 "Russian Radio" Red Flag
0233 Redhat on the mic, X-FM ID at 0234
0241 "Synthetica" Metric
0245 "Welcome to Paradise" Green Day
0253 Redhat on the mic. I forgot to shazam the song that followed Green Day.
0257 "Godzilla" Blue Oyster Cult
0301 brief Redhat announcing next song which is "Judith" A Perfect Circle
0305 "Good Times, Bad Times" Led Zeppelin
0308 "Factory of Faith" RHCP
0312 X-FM ID into "Lame Claim to Fame" Weird Al Yankovic
0316 "8 Piece Box" Southern Culture on the Skids
0320 Redhat on the mic
0326 "Might Be Right" White Reaper
0331 "Let's Dance" David Bowie
0343 signals starting to fade here, still SIO 333-343 or so but no longer strong enough to beat out the noise on the band. I'm going to stop logging here and try to enjoy the rest of the show. Thanks Redhat!
.....
0410 just checking in. Signal's better, SIO 444 at least, with someone covering "Running Up That Hill."
.....
0431 Redhat's been on the mic for a few minutes. Turns out it was Meg Myers I heard at 0410. Signal's full strength and 25 kHz wide. Amazing!
.....
0503 show still on, Redhat on the mic with song titles, signal's taking deep fades now.

SINPO=33222.

229- "Angel" by Massive Attack.
230- "Russian Radio" by Red Flag.
233- Redhat: Excellent, wonderful. This is...X-FM, music to the power of X. Wherever you are. The great expanse, wherever you are, somewhere under the stars. Anyway, this is XFM. A lot of unrest, but don't really want to talk about that. Because your daily dose of paranoia can come from anywhere. The bugs are out. IDs last song. Shout out to listeners (thanks Redhat!) Talk about troubles in the news. My brain is just awash! OCD. New music on the agenda tonight. Meg Myers' excellent cover. Email address repeated. Requests welcome. Gives time. Reception reports welcome. Count recordings and youtube as reception reports. Details necessary for a QSL, to include last year's greatest hits. From 2012.... Music from the power of X, gives time.
241- OM recorded XFM ID.
241- "Sythentica" by Metric.

SINPO=23222.
321- Harder to hear now due to QRN, but Redhat IDing station and IDing songs and years. Shout-outs to listeners. Provides email address. Thanks for tuning in tonight! Talking about band White Reaper. Time check and ID at 325. IDs next song/album and then station.
326- "Might Be Right" by White Reaper.

Catching the start up of the Mighty X on 6285 using the Utah Yellow SDR1 with a S7-9, peaks hitting 5 over S9 and audio sounding excellent with Russian Radio by Red Flag. Looking forward to as always, a great show! Being safe here. because of the rioting, all the major interstate highways are now shut down here in the Twin Cities. Thanks for the show this late evening Redhat! If you can fit it in, how about something from Led Zeppelin? Thanks again buddy! :) Thanks for playing "Good Times Bad Times"! Song kinda fits in what is going around here. Thanks again! Be safe!

Trying to get away from the static of storms, found a Kiwi SDR in Kahakuloa, Maui, Hawaii with a S7 and excellent audio and no storm static! Going across the Pacific! So cool Redhat! It is the Kiwi73 AT AI6VN/KH6  SDR. :)

0226  Ambient music, movie clip, rock music, Redhat talking about a number of things on his mind including concentrating on music and not current events, ID's, gmail address, phone #, accurate TC, offering e or postal QSL however it might be slow, canned ID into rock.

S7 with usual great audio here.

Hi, Redhat -

Just tuned in at 0323 UTC as you were reading HFU shoutouts. The signal's fading in and out pretty wildly at times here, but during the peaks, it's very listenable and sounds good here in Lake Stevens, WA.

0325 UTC: Redhat chatting about music, giving the time and phone number, etc., with background music going.
0326 UTC: Synth voice "new music on X-FM" promo into "Might be Right" by White Reaper.
0330 UTC: Promo for HFU right into "Let's Dance" by David Bowie (Ah! So many teenage memories attached to this album!).
0338 UTC: Canned ID into "Lie to Me" by Jonny Lang. Signal's stabilizing here as the sunset passes.
0343 UTC: Redhat with intro into "Cigarettes" by Tash Sultana, then "New Sky" by Rufus Du Sol ("Better fire up your subwoofers for this," Redhat says.).
0353 UTC: Redhat reading shoutouts from HFU, mentioning how to get a QSL, talking about propagation, last few songs played, email address, etc.
0400 UTC: "Temporary" by White Rabbits.
OK, off to dinner (yes, we eat late out here) ...
Welp, dinner wasn't ready ... tuned in again at 0411 UTC to hear Meg Myers' cover of Kate Bush's "Running up that Hill" (good choice!).
0414 UTC: Canned ID, Redhat with email address, etc., into "Killer" by Adamski + Seal.
0420 UTC: "Writer's Block" by Just Jack after Redhat's intro to the song. The noise is starting to catch up with this signal out here. :(

Solid signal here in Alberta with "Might Be Right" by White Reaper when I got to the radio at 0328, then ID at 0330 along with promo for hfunderground.com, and into David Bowie's "Let's Dance".   Thanks for the program.

Thanks, Redhat for acknowledging my report that I had JUST sent in by email.  Now that's a great response!   Frequency completely in the clear, but prone to some pretty rapid fades.  73,  Walt (04:02 UTC)

I listened right until sign off at around 06:03 UTC.  Signal remained decent to the west coast.  Not great, but perfectly listenable!   Thanks for the long show!
