Slightly above S7, here in N. Alabama.

"The Music Sounds Best on XFM" is not just a slogan, it's the truth.  You really do have the best audio quality, out there.  I also appreciate how you run your station as a "true station", rather than a gimmick.  That's something I've always appreciated about the Euros, and I definitely appreciate it, about XFM.

No QSL necessary.  Just wanted to send well-deserved kudos.
