About an SIO 333 444 at 0203z. Great to hear XFM again.

You were asking how this frequency is working vs 6975 or so: The SDR waterfall is showing strong radar around 6955 to 6975, so 6875 was probably a good choice.

I seem to be in a large propagational hole here...all I've been able to hear is a weak carrier since sign on.  :( This is unusual for me here with X-FM
0235 UTC Finally, I have some weak audio! Heard OM talking, then into a punk rock tune the boys in the chat say is by the Dead Kennedy's
0325 UTC Signal is starting to peak at S4 during fade ins now :) Redhat talking at 0326 UTC "Music to the Power of X"...rundown of songs played...somewhere under the stars...into another request"
0329 UTC Live TC and email addy and reports to HFU, FRC, and FRN.

Just turned on the Drake and catching X-FM here at 0236 playing the Dead Kennedys "Holiday In Columbia" with a S8-9 and great audio! How about playing "Pirate Radio" by John Hiatt if possible off his Little Head Album? Thanks for the show Redhat! Sounding great!

Good solid carrier (+30 dB over the noise) with some fading here in NW Illinois.   Nice audio quality, nearly noise-free with the advanced IF DNR in SDR# - rolling into "Talking in your Sleep" at 8 past the hour.  (Posted late due to phone call)

S9+5 in N. AZ. slow, deep fades, little to no QRM, excellent music and audio as usual. 

Thanks, Redhat for my Bowie request.  We lift a glass to a legend.
