XFM 6955AM 0058 16Feb13
« on: February 16, 2013, 0106 UTC »
First noted 0058 w/ an alternative rocker.  "This is XFM testing" at 0105, then back to music.
'Bout S6 on an S4 floor, very fady, very nice audio.

Very pronounced peaks up to S9+10 noted around 0122, followed by just as pronounced fades.

Occas CW/pesc QRM noted in the USB.

Thanks XFM!
