0019z - XFM Shortwave via MRI.
0026z - Music. Wide audio and waterfall graphics as usual.

Waterfall graphics via Web-888 and active 30' inverted delta loop:



Thanks for the broadcast! :)

I hear X-FM on 6865 kHz USB, wide audio, 20 over S9, and 6935 kHz USB with narrower, but still quite good, audio.  Second station under 6935 that I can tell is there, but not hear what it is.

0118  Bit about voting and paying attention to the local issues since the big folks "don't give a crap about you", ID, accurate TC, ID, MRI ID into unfamiliar hard rock, TC, taking requests, ID into a "train wreck of requests" going through the last several requests and who requested, xfm@protonmail.com, phone #, HFU check, Larry from Minn. called in, mentioning 6285. under another station on 6935 U, call in with good signal, 2nd caller with good reception, mentioning the 2016 program, MRI ID over intro to 'Paint it Black' - VersaEmerge, MRI ID.

S7-8 here.  Good signal.

Thanks for the show!
