Good signal. Testing on my modified Sony ICF-2010 for stereo AM since it already has a Stereo IC sync detector decoder chip inside.

0153 "Walking at a Downtown Pace" Parquet Courts, signal mostly fair but some very good peaks.

0111 Redhat talking about music and other topics, giving accurate TC, ID and gmail address, more talk ID's into "Learning to Fly" - Pink Floyd, ID, "Sinking feeling" into program of similar music (most of which I am not familiar ... thanks Redhat) with breaks of chat, shout outs and ID's.

S8 however often periods of a lot of noise which makes listening tough.

Tuned in at 0137utc on Champaign IL sdr with weak noisy S9 signal, barely hear audio, DJ spoke then music under the noise, at 0144 switched to Batavia IL sdr with much quieter S5 to S7 signal and can hear audio a bit better, also tried tuning in locally but it's a lost cause, neighborhood noise is S9, at 0151 sounds like punk rock or heavy metal, at 0156 he read my HFU post on the air, thanks.

X-FM coming in but the signal is a little rough at the moment. I don't know if it is equipment related here.

Ok, located some of problem here and audio is much better now. Got the station ID a few minutes ago. Great to hear X-FM again. Thanks for the broadcast.

Just tuned in at 0246 UTC. Can't hear you directly up here near Seattle, Redhat, but you're booming into the Northern Utah SDR ...

0246 UTC: "Why I'm Here" by Oleander.
0250 UTC: Canned X-FM ID into "Out of Control" by She Wants Revenge.
0254 UTC: "Need to Feel Loved" by Reflekt feat. Delline Bass.
0258 UTC: Redhat on the mic, reviewing the just-played songs, talking about his strict upbringing and exposure to modern rock, etc., mentioning requests and email address/phone number, HFU shout-outs.
0304 UTC: "Shadowplay" by The Killers.
0308 UTC: Canned ID into "End Unkind" by Nils Lofgren & Grin.
0311 UTC: Another ID into "Tongue Tied" by Grouplove (Thanks for playing the request!)
0315 UTC: ID into "Salt" by Bad Suns.
0319 UTC: Redhat back on the mic, reviewing the just-played songs. Signal's starting to get noisy and fading via the Northern Utah SDR.
0357 UTC: Checked back and the signal's hanging in there. Also, it's now just barely audible at times on my own receiver here in Lake Stevens, Washington, after being inaudible here earlier.

fair here and some bursts of S9 local noise, so I searched around on KIWIs until I found one with a good signal so that I could listen in stereo. Thanks for playing my request!
