XFM 6875/6870 AM 0112 UTC 24 Sep 2016

[refmo]

Signing on.  S9 with utility QRM on the upper sideband.
0117 - moved to 6870khz.  Excellent bass, sounds like he runs some heavy metal in that transmitter.
0127 - S8 to S9 with Redhat talking.  Got away from the original utility QRM, but now some Stanag has popped up on 6870 USB.
0211 - shoutouts.  Sounding good on the Kenwood - S9.  Can't get rid of the noise on the SDR.
0323 - S9+ and sounding good, but gotta call it a night.  Thanks for the show!

Thanks for the note, we moved down 5 KHz, hopefully with less QRM.
