Sounds like a relay of an older XFM show, solid SIO 555 here.

I'm hearing some weak audio here at 2215 UTC...unsure if X-FM relay or something else. Fading in and out of the noise, but mostly threshold.
QSL's to poorbrookking >at< aol.com are greatly appreciated! All reception and postings using My radio, My antenna, and generally in real time(excluding posting of SSTV images!).

Still there at 2314, S8 with "Realiti" by Grimes.  Good copy here.

Catching XFM here also just above the noise at a S6-7 at best and lots of fading. Also getting some QRM from a UTE that comes on periodically, ID at 2352 into Moaning Lisa Smile by Wolf Alice. Thanks Redhat, too bad it isn't better but at peaks, it is sounding good!
