0100z Had been listening for a while but the signal was down in the S9 storm static, but has come up nicely now to S8-S9 and I could copy a lot of the comments, shout-outs, etc.
0110z Unfortunately this peak didn't last too long, back down in the noise now

a big thanks to RedHat for collaborating with me to make this live transmission happen and a big thanks to everyone for listening to his awesome show.
i am honored and pleased to be able to do this for him - hopefully in the future, i will have C-QUAM working as well.
i am looking forward to doing this again and hopefully, band conditions for NVIS will be better too.
have a great weekend everyone !

X-FM relay, 0109 - 0134.  Mostly mellow ballads with Redhat talking and occasional ID's. 

Poor - fair here with noise rising and lowering throughout.  Poor during noisy periods, fair when the noise was down.

A big Thank You to The Relay Station for making last night's show possible and for sticking through the technical challenges of getting this off the ground.

Also Thank You to the listeners who stuck with us through the marginal propagation to hear the show.  You guys make it all worth while!

An aircheck will be released in a few days for those that want to listen to the program.  QSL's will be forthcoming in the next few days as well.

Aircheck for those that missed the show.  Sorry for the weird file extension, this is what the streaming encoder spits out.
