Listening via the K1RA SDR in Virginia. Nice signal here on 6850 USB/SINPO 45444
Listening as of 2350 UTC via the Northern Utah SDR, which has a very good signal/SINPO 35443

2315 UTC: "She-Wolf" by Megadeth.
2317 UTC: Canned X-FM ID into "Beguiled" by The Smashing Pumpkins.
2321 UTC: Canned ID into "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" cover by Marilyn Manson.
2326 UTC: Redhat on the mic going over just-played songs and doing HFU shout-outs.
2334 UTC: "Conciousness" by Jonojono.
2336 UTC: "Head Like a Haunted House" by Queens of the Stone Age.
2340 UTC: "Cracker Island" by Gorillaz and Thundercat.
2343 UTC: Redhat taking a live phone call from Jason in Iowa, reviewing the previously played songs, and giving the email address.
2350 UTC: "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo (a great tune from my teen years!), with a female-voiced MRI ID over the introduction.
2357 UTC: Redhat with ID and email address into "Every Day is Halloween" remix by Ministry.
2359 UTC: OK, the signal is just barely audible directly on my own radio, but I am indeed hearing traces of the music here near Seattle, where it's still broad daylight outside.
0003 UTC: Male-voiced MRI ID, then "Is That You Mo-Dean" by The B-52s.

Thanks for the Halloween music and broadcast, Redhat!

2322z - Music. SINPO 54444. S9+ via Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical. Loud and wide modulation. There is something moving around about 5KHz down, though that might be local to me. Otherwise an armchair copy.
2328z - Shout-outs to HFU members.

Waterfall images.



Thanks for the broadcast and shout-outs! :)
