Title: X-FM 6285 AM 0218 UTC 19 JUL 2020
Post by: MDK2 on July 19, 2020, 0219 UTC
0218 I just got home and tuned in, I think this is the usual interval. Decent signal, some static crashing.
0235 signal coming in quite well now, Redhat on the mic but about to go back to the music from the sound of things.
0240 "How Soon Is Now" The Smiths
0331 still tuned in, signal's really good considering I've got this one on the MLA-30 (not as much gain as the G5RV, but I need that one to pull in WDDR). Enjoying the show and in it for next couple of hours.
0446 still going strong. Redhat on the mic.
0529 still got a good signal (switched to the G5RV after WDDR signed off).
0542 going to start getting ready for bed, but keeping the radio on and tuned in.

Catching the start up of XFM also via the Utah SDR at 0221. Signal is a S8-9 with some fading and audio excellent. Also catching XFM on the Maui KIWI SDR at a S4-5. Looking forward to a great show Redhat! How about a track of your choosing from one of my favorite bands, The Clash.Thanks my friend, be safe out there!
Thanks for playing "London Calling" Redhat! Great tune! ;D
