Hello Redhat. Just got home from being with the grand daughter. So much fun! Catching XFM via the Utah Yellow SDR at 0220 with Redhat at the helm talking about the QSL policy at the Mighty X. Signal is a S7 with peaks to 9 with lots of static crashes and audio sounding pretty good amid the crashes. Playing the heavy stuff at 0223. ID at 0229. Thanks RH for the show this evening! How about a tune from Hendrix of you choosing? Thanks for playing "Hey Joe" by Hendrix at 0248!
Also catching XFM on the Maui Kiwi SDR with a S7 with peaks to 9 and some fading and very little storm static. :) Thanks again Redhat!

0320 a bit of a high noise floor tonight, signal is SIO 211 at this point. Some peaks but lots of static crashes tonight along with the usual issue of this signal's range relative to my QTH (I'm sure it would overwhelm the noise floor if I were somewhere else).
0322 signal's gained some strength, SIO 322 now.
NEXT DAY EDIT.... I did record the whole show on my SDR. Video of opening interval and station ID:

03:24 UTC - Weak but readable with fading in and out. Going through a unsettled and active geomagnetic magnetic field period. I guess no C-QUAM for me tonight. XMF transmissions are generally in C-QUAM (AM stereo);
04:08 UTC - Signal is fading out rapidly. Weak and unreadable at this time;
04:53 UTC - I can still see the carrier on the spectrum display but still weak and unreadable.

Great sounding station coming in well at S9. Really good audio. Thanks for the show.
-
Had to cap this via an SDR recording. Good S7 signal and audio from 0202 s/on with the usual rollout mx. Peaked up around S9 at 0330 at which point the strength did a slide down to the mud.
Thanks for the show, rh; enjoying it now!

Conditions were kinda poor that night, and we were having transmitter issues. In light of this, feel free to check out the link to an aircheck of the show.

Thanks much for posting the aircheck. I missed this broadcast, so I'm glad to be able to enjoy it.

This is a late report from the northern Mojave Desert: During my nearly daily 1 mile walk out into the nearby desert whereby I often put on a 200 mW ~6283 transmitter with a high-quality AM sound (to a Coby MP3 player), when I got about 1/8 mile from the QTH I noted an "unusual" fading hetrodyning signal on my own little signal via my Sony ICF-7600D portable rx. with its whip ant.
At about 1/2 mile out, I slid the VFO up higher and had fine audio and copy (good audio too!) from XFM. This was the first and only evening I have ever heard this station. Some erratic fading sometimes but overall quite listenable within the strong QRN.
Upon returning to the radio-room and QTH, I shut-off the small AM xmtr. and listened for a bit more time - past 0320z or so. Nice to hear and thanks! Keep up the AMing like some other stations do and the former KMUD did...
