0213 on abruptly w/ unid mx
0216 starting usual roll out mx w/ ann and IDS
0223 "XFM is on the air......My god, this is coming thru the air!"
0227 ID, and the new slogan "East of the Rockies, but west of normal." ..... not bad. The freq is clear here.
0235 shoutouts (TY redhat!) Some occasional selective fading here. Great audio, but I need to use ECSS LSB due to
local QRN in the USB.

0256 " No One"
0258 "XFM...like you had a choice"
0311 reading an email from oly

Very good AM signal at the moment. Thanks for the Friday nite broadcast.
New slogan- East of the Rockies, but west of normal.
-
Fair signal on the portable PL880 @ 0220 with sign on loop.
0235 - attached some wire to the portable, sounding better with shout out to jfarley
0236 - “Blue On Black”. FFDP. One of their members is from Lexington
0308 - “My Song” Jerry Cantrell. Good signal. Occasional light fades.
0321 - still sounding good. Fades are getting a little deeper. “When I Come Around “
0326 - “Comfortable Liar” Chevelle. [great choice]
0329 - The Clash
0412 - fair copy on the portable. Lots of fades now. I’m recording on the side with The wellbrook loop to listen to tomorrow
0429 - “Planet Claire” B52’s. Wow nice one!
0441 - "Risk" Metric, S7 to S9 on the HF+ sdr and loop antenna
-
Sounding great on the Eddystone 830 into Alabama tonight. Thanks for the show!
-
Catching the start up of XFM on 6275 with No Control by Pepper, then into talking about radiation of the brain and dog days of summer. Lots of new tunes going to be played. Hopping between 2 online SDR's some where under the stars with a signal of S8-9 and audio always excellent. Thanks Redhat! How about a tune from the Clash if you get a chance to sneak it into all the new tunes you are playing. :).
Thanks for playing Rock the Casbah at 0327!
-
Nice S7 signal into SE VA tonight! A bit high on low end audio IMHO but great to hear you on as always!
OOoooh, my bad. Open up receiver to 12.5KHz and sound great!
-
0237 Hard rock song
0241 "Rockin' your dial -- XMF"
Signal fair to good, moderate to strong fading, some noise floor.
Thanks for the show!

0250 Redhat with shout out to Cheesehead and mentioning cheese curds and Spotted Cow beer (yes, both easy to find around here), finding his playlist and some more talk, announcing 2006 song, canned ID, TC, music.
S6 and clear with usual great signal.
Thanks for the show.

Have been sitting here listening to your fair signal and suddenly I noticed a huge jump (over 40 dB gain) in your signal. Super sounding signal here now. Thanks for the show tonight.
-
Seeing a faint carrier but can't hear anything. :-[
-
0339 Just tuning in.... not every time X-FM is on a Friday! Decent signal here in Denver. Thanks for the show Redhat!
0411 signal dropped out several minutes ago, has yet to return. Only a trace carrier to be detected.

0329 - Listening in Flint, MI on a DX440 on the deck, just the whip, while watching the ISS pass overhead. Peaks are 3 bars (S9ish) and quite listenable. Beautiful wide AM signal.
0329 - Clash - Rock the Casbah
0350 - I came in and experimented on Chris' kiwiSDR to see what it sounded like in I/Q mode... there is separation, maybe not the intended soundfield, but it's definitely "stereo"
0422 UTC - He played my request for Traffic's "Walking in the Wind" from 1975... still have 3 bars on the DX440.
0425 UTC - Redhat indicated he is broadcasting in MONO tonight. That's really interesting... I really wonder how the I/Q would sound if he was in C-QuAM mode.
0430 - XFM liner and Bloodhound Gang - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo... I haven't heard that song in 20 years!

Ooh, this is a fortuitous catch! I was out with the radio trying for, and succeeding in catching, Radio Austria. I scanned a little ways up 49 meters, aiming for Radio Educacion, went a little too far and... ooooooh! Who's this? X FM booming in onto the isthmus at roughly 0508Z, with IDs, previous tracks played, e-mail address and details on how to get either an E-QSL or a proper postal one. Evidently, the DJ's got all this music in his head, and is going to do something about that! Brother, I know the feeling. :) Into an Australian artist whose name I didn't catch, but the track is "Cigarettes". Then a time check - 0514Z - a 'music to the power of X' slogan along with an ID, and a QTH of somewhere under the stars. Me too. :D Then playing a band called Blood Orange. Loud signal with deep fades, but that could just be living-downtown-itis again. SIO 534.
Thanks very much for the show! I'd happily go the postal QSL route, being that sort of dame, and I don't mind the 6-9 months' wait time. You admitted it up front, which is more than fair! Should I throw an e-mailed report at you, or will this do?

That works for me! If you would like a postal QSL, shoot me an email with your addy and I'll put you in the next mailing.
Thanks for tuning in!

Heard from 0213 on the SDR recording, about an SIO 444 at sign on, I just started to listen. Thanks as always for the show Redhat!
-
Holy crap it's like you stole my 80s and modern rock playlists!
Great show.

A few more details from the recording I made of XFM's Friday night broadcast...
At 0418 UTC, I heard you read my email and played Traffic "Walking in the Wind", You mentioned the passing of my engineer friend and said "There is no guarantee of tomorrow, so just have fun", which is great advice!
0425, you then mentioned you were "live in Mono" tonight, gave your email again and played B-52's "Planet Claire".
0430 - XFM liner "Music to the power of X" and Bloodhound Gang - Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo, "XFM Shortwave" and finally, Rammstein's "Radio".
I also sent the above to your email.
Watch this space for a complete machine log and airchecks in a week or so.

Thank you for that, Redhat! That will be awesome to add to my collection. I might just dust off the old Technics cassette deck and make a hard copy I can grab quickly and chuck in the old ghettoblaster!
