*Listening via the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C., to the 5185 relay*

0006 UTC: Redhat on the mic with a welcome after "Under the Stars" by Morning Parade. Good to hear your scratchy voice, sir!
0015 UTC: "Planet Claire" by The B-52s (a GREAT song).

*Now listening via the Northern Utah SDR, where 4185 kHz is fair to good and 5185 is inaudible*

0020 UTC: After a canned ID, "How Not to Drown" by CHVCHES & Robert Smith.
0025 UTC: Redhat on the mic with an HFU shout-out, then a canned ID, and "Annie" by Neon Indian.
0030 UTC: Redhat back on the mic, talking about the previous song, QSLing, his cat on his lap, and requests.
0033 UTC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
0039 UTC: Canned ID, live song intro by Redhat, then "The Drone Racing League" by GUNSHIP.
0050 UTC: Redhat talking about C-QUAM stereo and tuning in when I came back downstairs, then HFU shout-outs. 

*Now listening to 4185 via the KA7U SDR between Eastern Oregon and Idaho; fair reception*

0058 UTC: Canned ID, then a song I couldn't ID, followed by "The Hardest Cut" by Spoon.

0207 UTC: Checked my radios between trick-or-treat visitors, and X-FM is now audible here near Seattle on all three of my "everyday" radios with my long-wire antenna.

Thanks for the Halloween broadcast! I have to go help give out candy to trick-or-treaters for a while.

I'm listening direct at home in California while I work late and hand out candy to the kiddies. 4185 and 5185 not making it at all at my place at 0200 UTC but 6865 is very much above the noise for me. It looks like the big California SDRs have all three frequencies.

Cheers,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN ALL!!

X-FM is very weak here, "somewhere under the stars....and rain" on Mount Hood in Oregon.  Thank you Red Hat for the broadcast.  Great to hear you.  I'm sure Larry is doing another Pirate Radio video report "somewhere under the stars" in MN.
