Title: 6950am X-FM Shortwave 0200z 4/14/2013
Post by: Kilokat7 on April 14, 2013, 0200 UTC

X-FM signing on 6950, but another AM station just under 6950 is causing a mess on the frequency.  Other station just went off, X-FM sounding better here now - 0201z.

0304z: "Jesus Built My Hotrod" by Ministry - haven't heard this in years :-)

S9+ in the woods of NW Florida.  Very minor fading with static crashes having little effect.  No noticeable interference.  I look forward to the shows.
