 8)  Wow sounds like true PRO radio here in SE. Beautiful audio and great carrier, with just a bit of fade.
 :D
This station deserves to be recorded as a bench mark !

0020- now condx getting dicey here in SE. Signal is dropping out at times. But thanks for the Pro Show anyway !
Cool stuff.. I switched to the SF Bay Area Half Moon SDR, and the station pounding!!
tried Utah also, but was getting fades in northern Utah. Right Now its POOOWERFUL IN SF area !!
Power- now coming up on my dipole.. in SE. It faded now its way up again here in Carolina.
0125- Still 555 in SE, with only slight fades ! Fantastic coverage.. Must be a Mexican connection at 50kw.. ;D
Still 555 here in Cherokee, have not lost a moment in past hour. Using only hill top dipole.. 41 meters
Now speaking praise to US.
I called in on the chat line. Signals were solid here in foothills after initially a fade out.

Was very loud at first, then faded away. Some switchology and loop tweaking is giving a fairly good signal down here. Good ID and phone number. Thanks a lot for the show as it is appreciated.

Catching you tonight on a G39 with a ALA1530. Good tune just came up.......

Extremely good signal in Northern Utah via WebSDR.

If anyone wants to listen on WebSDR this is the strongest signal I've found: http://websdr1.utahsdr.org:8901/

Email for X-FM is xfmshortwave@gmail.com and their phone number is (408) 800-6925 in case someone didn't catch it

Just tuned in at 0131 UTC, and the signal's booming in while I'm in USB mode. Nicely loud and clear out west here, so I can hear the announcer talking before going into Daft Punk.

I'd request "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus, but the original version is 9 1/2 minutes, which might try listeners' patience! I think there might be a shorter single version.

Thanks for the nice signal and the good music!

Update: As of 0155 UTC, the fading's really taking a toll, making the music nearly inaudble now.

Traveling across the country in my RV and because it's Halloween night I had to tune in. Currently in Biloxi Mississippi in the Hard Rock Cafe parking lot. Grabbed the portable shortwave radio and stepped away from the RF noisy motorhome. Picking you up well given the limited antenna in this noisy environment. 7 3
