Really great reception here!  My newish sky loop really cuts down the fading.

Good sound quality, I can actually hear the bass via my external speakers.

Good signal here, some deep fades, but generally clear. Heard the XFM Shortwave ID and the intro to a track by Phoenix. Really nice full-range fidelity, pro-sounding presentation. Thanks for the show!

PS. Happy New Year!!

Tuned in at 0727. Good sig, generic pop, said "bcstng in cquam stereo, the power of X", off at 0728. Too bad I missed show, I was listening to an unid on 6925am with a weak sig and a bad attitude.
