*Listening via the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C., to the 5185 relay*

0006 UTC: Redhat on the mic with a welcome after "Under the Stars" by Morning Parade. Good to hear your scratchy voice, sir!
0015 UTC: "Planet Claire" by The B-52s (a GREAT song).

*Now listening via the Northern Utah SDR, where 4185 kHz is fair to good and 5185 is inaudible*

0020 UTC: After a canned ID, "How Not to Drown" by CHVCHES & Robert Smith.
0025 UTC: Redhat on the mic with an HFU shout-out, then a canned ID, and "Annie" by Neon Indian.
0030 UTC: Redhat back on the mic, talking about the previous song, QSLing, his cat on his lap, and requests.
0033 UTC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.
0039 UTC: Canned ID, live song intro by Redhat, then "The Drone Racing League" by GUNSHIP.
0050 UTC: Redhat talking about C-QUAM stereo and tuning in when I came back downstairs, then HFU shout-outs. 

*Now listening to 4185 via the KA7U SDR between Eastern Oregon and Idaho; fair reception*

0058 UTC: Canned ID, then a song I couldn't ID, followed by "The Hardest Cut" by Spoon.

0207 UTC: Checked my radios between trick-or-treat visitors, and X-FM is now audible here near Seattle on all three of my "everyday" radios with my long-wire antenna.

Thanks for the Halloween broadcast! I have to go help give out candy to trick-or-treaters for a while.

Wow, a multicast two nights in a row!   Great signal again on 4185 into northern Minnesota.   Happy Halloween.
