Kudos and big thanks to RedHat for the show and of course, you are always welcome anytime - see and hear you hopefully soon on the air in Stereo !
hats-off and howdy to Mix Radio @ 6860Khz AM, sounding superb tonight as always !
shoutout to AC, we know you will be on soon with that superb sounding powerhouse AM station !
edit - apologies to Mix Radio if i caused you reason to move down 10Khz, it was nice though having two high quality AM stations side by side :)

Tuned in at 0126utc, fair signal with static, moderately rapid fading, good audio fidelity, professional sounding DJ banter, now playing song "ruby".
Said "the music sounds best on XFM".

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
