X-FM 4085 AM 0125 UTC 27 JAN 2019
« on: January 27, 2019, 0126 UTC »
0125 Good signal here.
0133 signal now pretty poor. :(
0146 been listening on the KPH kiwi SDR on the coast of California. Good signal there.
0157 signal has come up well at KPH. :)
0206 back to my own rx, signal has improved to fair quality here, still some noise that it needs to overcome but hopefully it will do so.
0350 X-FM still going strong, signal has become poor to fair again here in Denver. Still fair strength but much clearer at KPH kiwi SDR.
0435 Redhat on the mic. Nice tuneage, sir.
     
Funny story about the band 999... My best friend was riding the bus with a friend of his back in the early 80s. He's wearing his 999 shirt. This is when the Satanic Panic was happening, so naturally someone on the bus asks if that shirt is 666 upside down. No, he answers, it's 999 right side up. Said with full "what kind of stupid question was that" attitude.

0500 I'm hanging them up for the night. Thanks for the show Mr. Redhat.

Tuned in at 0128utc, poor sig fading in and out, QRM from one of the many buzzy carriers from a neighbor's old plasma TV, barely heard X-FM ID, at 0153 signal improved slightly but still poor. Was still on with increasingly weaker sig when I turned off the set at 0355.

Catching the start up of XFM also on 4085 at 0130 using the online NA5B SDR in Washington, DC with a S8 and peaks hitting 5 over S9 and audio being excellent! Looking forward to a fabulous show! Thanks Redhat! Rock on dude! First tune played is by Gus Gus "Airwaves". Sorry to hear about your neighbor Redhat. :( Great song to honor him by. :)

        Good to hear you again Redhat on the air.
0300 I also like the female singers in your tracks tonight Redhat.

Bummer man, X-FM is 25 kHz wide, but my widest filter setting in AM is only 20 kHz.  ;)

A tad over S9 here in the Mojave Desert of California.

(edit)  I agree X-FM, Plasma TV is hard to beat for smooth color saturation and color contrast.  I love my Plasma in the library.  But, because I have so many radios on all the time I seldom turn it on.  I have LCDs in the living room for everyone else to use.

X-FM, 0127.  Opening sequence with somewhat atmospheric music with announcements of upcoming X-FM broadcast into series of movie cuts into 1st song, 0139 Redhat with ID, correct TC and talk with a program of music of favorites from the last couple of years, commenting on antenna and transmitter work and hoping it will hold up.

S6 - S7.  Good here.
