Not to break the current theme, but how about a play later of perhaps the most screwed up music video of 2015? "Not Butter" by Dillon Francis. o.0

s7 into dc. one of my favorite stations too. atmospherics are really making the carrier bob up and down like a traffic cone on a trampoline. cant make out all audio, but i'm still locked in. thanks for the show.
sdr with horizontal loop antenna, 20 feet up, 250 feet all around. wellbroke loop for amdx and tropdx, very very lucky reception.

Checked 6955 at 0350 to be surprised that XFM is booming in at S9 with peaks at +20.  Half an hour earlier I could barely hear the carrier.

Happiness is a good antenna system.

Just got home and joined the party real late. XFM at best here with a S6-7 and good audio but suffering from deep fades. Propogation is very poor here.  Thanks for the shoutout my friend! Too bad I missed most of it but it was good hearing you Redhat on the HF! ;D

Watch this space for an aircheck link next weekend.  Since conditions were so lousy, I thought I'd post one.

As promised...

Please excuse some level variations in the recording, as there is no AGC in the board feed and I generally monitor off air where level variations due to processing are less obvious.  I was also a bit 'tuned up' that night, but it was an enjoyable show and we played a lot of really great music.

FLAC http://www.xfmlive.com/airchecks/2016/X-FM 1-2-2016 Show.flac

Please note that once an official aircheck has been posted, reception reports for this show will no longer be accepted.

Enjoy!
