Live time check at 0319 after "London Calling".  Not quite as strong here up The 401 from where Rocky Rhino is listening.

There's a Michigan Area Radio Enthusiasts (MARE) DXpedition taking place in Brighton, Michigan right now... I'm sure they are listening too.

0338 UTC - Franz Ferdinand's "Ulysses".

Announced C-Quam stereo at 0324, UTC.  Nice signal as normal here in the Mojave Desert, S9+.  A little TADIRAN QRM from south of the border in the upper sideband, but not much.

3:23 Yea XFM, always a pro show.  Listening near Niagara Falls NY.  +2-3-S over noise floor all receivers and antennas.

3:44 Why do you only call me when you are high..
3:46 Saved by zero

Propagation improving now +5 over floor.

Noticing a spike at 6950.85 on the scope.  Any one else?  Is it on my end?

Here also at S7 with nice audio at 0312 UTC Hmmm...only one station has this kind of quality audio
0316 UTC "London Calling"-The Clash
0319 UTC ID "X-FM" and chat about dragging the shortwave equipment out after the AM low power test...opened the show with "Never Say Never"-Romeo Void...shoutouts to the HFU posters...never go's out so never get's sick...got a cold that knocked him on his ass...plug for HFU and Free Radio Cafe..."
0324 UTC C-Quam jingle, then into an UNID tune
0335 UTC Thanks for the shoutout Mr. Redhat! I switched over to this posting column...
0344 UTC "Saved By Zero"-The Fixx
Signal strength had been a steady S7 here with minor ups and downs and a little selective fading. Wide audio as usual!
0403 UTC Live TC as "3 minutes after"...all the beer is gone...shoutouts to all of us on the HFU...emails...into another song...

Thanks for the show Mr. Redhat! It's time to hit the sack here....been at the radio since 2130 UTC and my ears are shot! You take care of that cold now! Nice shot of blackberry brandy might make ya feel better :)
