Music on abrupt at 0040 UTC with S5 signal over low noise floor....0045 UTC Reggae tune...missed the XLR8 ID...thanks PghScanner
0134 UTC (Been listening for almost an hour now and signal is steady over the min noise tonight...negligible fading here. Playing a genre of songs not usually characteristic of the XLR8 programs I've logged this year! Much appreciated XLR8 op!)

Poor signal here at 2202 UTC tune in, fading up occasionally to where I can catch whole sentences here and there. Local? QRM on LSB, so best on USB here. Hey op, if you really want to get your message out, I suggest getting yourself a Google gmail address. Listeners can send in reports and engage you in a more sociable, conversational manner. Interaction between operator and listener has always been the best way to get the message out.

Tuned in at 0029 UTC and audio is just above noise floor. 0031 UTC I can hear a Dutch polka fading in and out.
Signal peaked 0035ish UTC but otherwise poor copy at best. Thanks for the posting Chris S....a new logging for me although I could hear no announcer or ID.
0054 UTC Signal back up a bit...polka, then pop tune at 0056 UTC
0059 UTC I hear a man announcer with a high pitched voice, then more ez listening pop music at 0101 UTC. Mostly buried in the noise.

 Music fading in and out of the noise floor here since 0019 UTC. I've logged this 5 times this year and have yet to hear an ID, or any spoken word at all. I am hopeful though...sooner or later!

Also heard here from 0319-0352 UTC with weak signal just above the low noise floor. ID and frequency by op in chat room. Could copy only the occasional word here and there. Interesting station...haven't heard a call in pirate for many, many years....I guess this program is streamed online, but I didn't check it out.

I get little bits of threshold audio here and there...man talking but nada on the copy.
0237 UTC Coming up a bit at S2 with almost negligible noise floor, but just too weak to copy. Seems to be just straight talking, no music.
0252 UTC Man op with "Hope you enjoyed this broadcast", then an annoying hissing sound QRM'd the rest of the sentence.
