[BOR]

Fairly good signal strength on the west coast.....only problem is the static is just as loud. Stevie Ray songs never go amiss on a Saturday night ;-)

Thanks for the show....BOR

[jFarley]

Being heard here in Chicago with the typical great audio and S9+15 signal.

0305 "Playing tunes for you under the stars"

Thanks XFM!

[William Hassig]

Tuned in at 0311utc, fair/poor, soft rock and pop music. xfmshortwave@gmail.com.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Just a trace of a carrier here, dang it!!!

[Hornet0123]

Hearing Machine head s8 in Maine, pretty good above the noise and some occasional digital interference.

0356 - some shout outs

[Jolly Roger]

Got RML in with a nice signal into northern Canada.

[skeezix]

Been listening since he came on. Been up & down, from the noise level S5 to a solid S9.

Around 0430Z, the band dropped and signal has been just above the noise level. Too bad too, some great music playing tonight. And, of course, in the awesome C-QUAM.

[Kilokat7]

SDR catch, very nice audio as usual, but the summer static is still with us :-(

Off-air 20 kHz wide stereo recording using the SDR and Sodira: 6975 kHz X-FM C-QUAM STEREO 0256-0337 UTC 15SE13.mp3

Thanks RH!

SDR recording catch. 0245 sign on, with about an S8 signal. The signal improved over time, and was around S9 by 0300, until 0340 when the band went long and it almost completely faded out. Just traces until 0520 sign off.

jFarley - a nice example of the classic barber pole effect on your waterfall, showing the path going long for you.

I noticed the same on my waterfall, however the "barber pole" was going the opposite direction of jFarley's.  Not sure why but I thought it was interesting.  The band went long for me during Skeezix's beer song, X-FM being hardly audible from then on.
