Signing on it sounds like right now at 0049 UTC, wide audio and tripping the pilot stereo light - C-QUAM stereo! Static horrible for me right now though making reception difficult :(
0050 UTC: "X-FM is now on the air"
Stereo audio recording from 0102-0138 UTC @ 20 KHz wide:
6940 khz X-FM C-QUAM STEREO 0102-0138 UTC 04SE12.mp3 (http://amdxer.com/download/DX_Audio_Clips_Other/6940%20khz%20X-FM%20C-QUAM%20STEREO%200102-0138%20UTC%2004SE12.mp3)

Tough copy here, too, but I have snippets of the B-52's "Roam" coming through at 0053z. High natural static plus some local plasma-y junk.

I switched from my IC-7410 with an 80m dipole to station B, which is a TS-590 with a 40m dipole and copy is much better now. Live ID at 0057z. Really nice audio.

0328Z Off air.
Signal has been up & down all night. When its strong, it sounds very good with bw set to 15 kHz. Most of the time the signal strength was mediocre to decent with a fair amt of noise.
Thanks for a fantastic show including the great C-QUAM transmission.
Perseus SDR (with SoDiRa) + 102' G5RV @ 25'

Just Dialed in 6940Khz AM mode...10db/s9 super audio into Colorado foothills.
ic 756 end fed wire antenna.
Keep up the good work GF

Stereo rig is down, but sounding great here in mono. S9+10 here, but heavy storm noise.
Thanks XFM!

Currently S8 +\-

I had this signal too, SIO 232 into southern Wisconsin, though through no fault of the op's. Conditions are a mess tonight; everything above 7mHz is wasted!
Tuned in to Delphic, caught some of what the op said including reference to the HF Underground, then the Sarah McLachlan track - good song! I heard mention of sending reception reports after the song was over, the fact that it was late for requests, and something about sending JFarley a power supply? XD Couldn't get the e-mail address or a positive ID in all the staticy mess; thank goodness for the forums.
Thanks X-FM!

SDR recording catch. Carrier up around 0042z, audio started at 0044z. "This is XFM, please stand by"
Fair copy until a big peak around 0105z when it went up to S9.
