0113z with a Panic at the Disco song. S9 signal.
-
Pat Benetar at S9+20! Smoking signal XFM! Excellent and rock solid smooth using SAM with max of 10 kHz bandwidth. Switching to the User mode I am in AM but have a good signal out to 16 kHz, but with selective fading. Unbelieveable audio. Thanks for the show. You're pushing past +20 right now.
Shout outs and just broke the mic. Measuring your signal still at 16 kHz width and fading has dropped way down.
-
Signal up and down, S8 fading down to S5 at times. Always great to hear your shows, thanks!
EDIT: Signal took a big dive at 0340z and never recovered. Here's an hour's worth of stereo audio beginning around 0245z when the signal was best here:
6975 kHz X-FM C-QUAM STEREO 0245-0339 UTC 12DE15.mp3 (http://amdxer.com/download/DX_Audio_Clips_Other/6975%20kHz%20X-FM%20C-QUAM%20STEREO%200245-0339%20UTC%2012DE15.mp3)
I notice I'm getting more noticeable platform motion in the stereo audio when I play back this MP3 recording. Almost certainly something going on here due to my recording process since this isn't as noticeable when listening to the live broadcast, or listening to the SDR recording when I play it back through Sodira.
Obligatory waterfall screenshot:

6975 AM / 0110 / DEC 12
Signal here into eastern Nebraska is plagued by heavy static, despite relatively strong signal. Clear ID and shout-outs to HFU posters ~ 0117/
Hopefully, conditions quiet down here.

However, still hearing things somewhat OK.

Hello Redhat. Just got home to catch you playing my request for The Cramps-Lets Get F'ed Up at 0209 on 6975AM with a solid S9 and great audio but suffering a bit from some deep fades.
