X-FM Sounding good in NH, S9 - a bit of RTTY leaking through from 6873 now and then but no big deal (gone if I listen in LSB)

1208z Nice tunes Redhat, but bedtime here... see you next time

About S-3 in northern Canada. Enough to hear music but not enough to listen to for any length of time. I had better copy if I tuned using SSB. Kudos for trying a freq off the beaten path. I look forward to hearing more as winter conditions improve.

On 6870, just a carrier and barely audible audio that may be music here in N. Central Texas via the Palstar and indoor antenna.

I had this too.  SIO 433 in southern Wisconsin, starting at 0410Z or so.  This was the case of a chance swivel of the dial; I thought I had Israel until I checked properly.  Didn't or couldn't recognize the music played, and the ID I had was hard to catch, but definitely there.  Propagation wasn't great, but it was enough.  Thanks for the show, and I like that frequency choice!
