I have them under the noise in Northern Canada although the signal appears to be building. I'm hearing a bassy, repetitive kind of techno dance beat but I can't I.D. it. I'm a metal head.
Would be a nice signal if the band wasn't so noisy here.

I've got the carrier and I can hear programming way down in the static...music of some kind at 0231, followed by talk still at 0231, then right back into music.  Lengthy anncr talk heard from 0245-0247, then music at 0248.  More anncr talk at 0258, then back into music at 0301.

Doing pretty well here in Massachusetts at 0253, female vocal group... S-9 or so.
this is not my genre of music, lol.  Talking about buying a computer keyboard that was too small and returned it, trackball mice.
ID 0301 "This is X-FM, The Power Of X". Nice modulation, signal improving here.

Really nice signal here in the Mojave Desert of California, most of the time about 10 over S9.  Nice wide and clean audio.  Transmitter bandwidth is a little over 22 kHz, audio bandwidth exceeds 10 kHz, probably closer to 12 kHz.

T!

(Edit)  Shout out to several, including me at about 0349 UTC.  XFM, I will upload a sample of the audio to my YouTube channel sometime.
