S6 here but with funky modulation?

0052z: X-FM Shortwave ID, modulation sounding a bit off unfortunately :-(
0057z: S7 & sounding a bit better now with PWEI tune - never thought I'd hear PWEI on shortwave - love it!

Getting it here also but like the rest of you, very hard to understand even though it is a S7-8. Caught ID at 0052, XFM. Thanks XFM for the show even though something is not just quite right. :)
At 0106, saying can you hear me now-OH YEA! Sounding really good with signal almost at a S20! WOW! Thanks Redhat! ;D
Thanks for Iron Butterfly, AWESOME TUNE!

X-FM, 6965 AM (sort of), 0050, 11.1.14.  Drums with singing - drums are predominant w/ singing barely audible.  Distorted X-FM ID at 0052.

Signal is S6 and quite adequate.  having problems however.

Solid S8 with great sound at 0107.

00:56 music playing.. Although a good carrier (S-7) the audio is "muffled") with signal peaking and falling at random.
Heard song Ina Gadda Da Vida and Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress Then OP talk...

I can just barely tell there's a signal and can occasional hear a voice. I tuned back to the station a few minutes later and was able to copy Zombie by The Cranberries at S9.
