XFM 6950AM 2224 s/on

XFM.  Rock crushing +30dB.  Interestng layered pgm start.  Hitting +40 on peaks.  Great audio.  Playing Hippity-Hop "AM Radio" song... sounds like "white-bread, blue-eyed soul" Bunny-hop.

Relay, or re-BC of New Years Day txmission.  Recap of past year.  Rpts to HFU, FRN, Cafe or e-mail. Stickers and hard copy QSL for a listener addy in the report.  

This is a Pro.  Wide audio.  Big power.  Converted BC tranny.  Playin' DJ demo wax/CDs.  Nice snappy patter.  Gettin' paid alot less here on FR.

Meg Myers then Chemical Bros.  Id into rap 'n' krap.

Neanderthal Metal mx... 'Wash It All Away'

Power drop into the dust @ 2311Z.  Still going, but weak in the grass.  Very sudden drop.  Like an SWR foldback.  Wind blow the antenna down?

Here also after waiting on a strong carrier...on abruptly at 2224 UTC with opening C-Quam mention and X-FM intro music
Hmmm...must be a relay as just gave a time check as 0137 UTC

I am hearing X-FM Shortwave but not the typical strong signal that i have been accustomed too! There is some fading here too not terrible but makes the signal a little harder to hear! Hopefully signal will improve! Music being played but do not know who the band is a male singer at 23:39UTC.
