0017 Music below the noise floor. Thanks for the show.
0030 Coming up nicely, signal about SIO 132. Nice that there's no QRM to speak of, just the noise floor. Blues tune, RL Burnside per Skipmuck
0034 new tune, signal now faint again, hard to tell what's being played
         Come on, propagation gods! Let's get this signal back up!
0046 Signal starting to roll in now that the sun is down. SIO 232. Pussy Riot "Make America Great Again" Nice selection
0049 new song I think, signal weakened so it's hard to tell.
0054 back in the muck, but still audible
0057 signal back up a bit, song playing that I think I should know but can't place. Too much under the noise floor for Shazam to help.
0059 blues/rock tune
0102 XLR8 ID into "Rescue" Echo and the Bunnymen
       Going to make some dinner real quick. Keeping the radio on...
0117 I'm back and the signal's up enough for me to make a request.
        Please play Circle Jerks "Stars and Stripes"
0121 XLR8 ID into new song, unfortunately it's back in the muck
0127 Signal back up a bit, "Think About Us" Lyn Collins
0130 new song
0136 XLR8 ID into Circle Jerks "Stars and Stripes" THANK YOU
0137 new tune, signal faded again but this sounds familiar (Because it's Subway Sect, "Don't Split It")
0143 "Safety in Numbers" The Adverts
0146 "The Republic" Gang of Four
0150 "The Key" Joan Armatrading

Hope this means we'll be hearing more from you XLR8!

XLR8 going strong at 0140 UTC.  Been listening locally and switching between a half dozen East Coast and Midwest remote SDRs while away from the radio for the past hour or so.  Busy band tonight (mostly two-way traffic with pescadores, freebanders, etc).  Good frequency choice 6950 kHz USB seems to be one of the few clear frequencies on 43 meters this evening, with a couple bits of minor LSB QRM (from 6953 kHz or 6955 kHz) earlier in the show.  XLR8's signal was, and is, much stronger than basically everything else on the 6765-7000 kHz band.  Keep up the good work XLR8.  

Always enjoy hearing XLR8 and their long marathon broadcasts!  Thanks for the Wednesday evening show! :D

0200 UTC - band finally going long?  Hearing two-way USB voice traffic over XLR8 now
0210 UTC - XLR8 came back up considerably, and the two-way chatter has either QSYed, gone QRT/faded or XLR8 is overpowering them enough that they are no longer QRMing him.  at 0211 UTC, however, came a very deep fade down into the noise.  I can tell there's something there, but can't make it out
0212 UTC - signal came screaming back, with Queens Of The Stone Age - Medication, followed by "XLR8" ID x2 then off the air or very rapid fade
