Via NJ web SDR, fair to good in AM mode.  Just a carrier via the home receiver in Texas.
0314z: X-FM ID, shout-out to listener, intro to Blink 182 song.  Good audio during peaks.
0320z: "Radio is pretty boring if there's nobody on the other end of the pipe."  (Thanks for the shout-out.  Yup, long time, no me, just getting back into SWL after a couple of years I-hate-us.)
0337z: ID, time, mentioned Chris L., email contact info, HFU and Free Radio Cafe, planning to play some requests.
0411z: Mike Nesmith song, ID.  Signal about the same via NJ web SDR, still no-go at home.
SINPO=34322, decent peaks, many fades to barely audible (via NJ web SDR)
