0508 I'm still listening but I got busy with other things and stopped logging songs, ID's, etc. Overall the SIO here has been around 222 with occasional good peaks. At this time the QSB is coming and going with increased frequency, so the band may not hold for much longer. Thanks for the show as always, Redhat!

0619 the show continues! But I'm heading to bed shortly. Thanks again!

S9+10 and playing classic XMR music. Super cool song at the moment. Thanks Mix Radio. Really nice broadcast.

Move to 6295 sounds good after the audible jammer that caused a buzzing. Sounding good and showing +10 to +20.

I can hear the carrier and, at the peaks, bits of music the past few minutes.

Not bad considering I left my long antenna at home and am working with just the built-in whip at my in-laws' place way out in Sequim, Washington.

0235 UTC: Audio's fading in more often now, but still not audible a majority of the time. I hope he stays on a bit until we get to dusk; it's still bright daylight here!

0353 UTC: Checked back in after dinner here, this time on 6295 kHz. Carrier's still detectable, but as the sun heads down here, the static's taking over, so I can't hear any audio.

0406 UTC: Listening to the music now via the Little Thompson Observatory SDR in Berthoud, Colorado, while I wait to see if the signal fades back in here on the Olympic Peninsula.

0410 UTC: Well, that didn't take long. Caught a couple snippets of RedHat talking here on my radio, first in LSB and then in AM mode, at 0409-0410 UTC.

0415-0416 UTC: RedHat's voice now fading in every 20-30 seconds in AM mode out here right at local sunset time. Again, using just my Eton/Grundig's whip antenna (not fully extended, as it's slightly broken) out here near the shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

0442 UTC: Still less than ideal audio, but I can hear music fading in and out periodically here. And, now, at 0445 UTC, RedHat's chatter fading in and out.

Thanks for the music, RedHat!

[refmo]

Sounding good here on the portable Tecsun PL880 with shoutouts @0235.
Sitting outside by the fire pit tonight.

On 6295 @ 0258 with more shoutouts. Sounding better. Nice copy.

0348 - still sounding good here on the PL880 with a shout to another listener in Kentucky.
0355 - “We Appreciate Power”.  Very fitting. Nice signal.

0423- “Rewired” Kasabian. Nice steady signal.

[Markokpik]

Opening music with announcements to stand by an ID, movie clips for opening, music, Redhat talking about comments about QRN noted here and asking for frequency suggestions, some talk about weather, then reading from here with shout outs.

S9+10 with good audio and noisy frequency.

0241 moved to 6295 - better frequency here.  More clear

[William Hassig]

Tuned in at 0238utc, fair/poor sig with moderate noise, hear DJ talking about tunes being played, moved to 6295am, playing nice variety of soft pop tunes, still on at 0500 (midnight central time). Thanks for program. I'm calling it a day and turning off set.   

[PRO2006]

0256- Shout out to Ray over the pond. SIO 221 here.   Thanks for the show X-FM!
0309- Anger Rising - Jerry Cantrell
0350- The QSL's get done, 100%, but it might take some time.

[TheRelayStation]

mmm, okay, i think posting the links some Kiwi's is not a good idea ?
the link in my previous post to the Huson, MT Kiwi got removed by a moderator, perhaps the owner is in the forum or the owner is a moderator and didnt want all the traffic, i didnt get any message as to why it was removed, my apologies for that 
i was merely trying to help those who enjoy RH's programming, hear it where it couldnt be heard.
edited to make a note at 0415z, Chris Smolinski's Kiwi SDR and the Sedona, AZ Kiwi SDR are receiving RH pretty well 
0624z - RH giving thanks to everyone who posted in FRC and HFU, emailed him and listened to his program and now is preparing to close the broadcast for the evening (morning) with one last song (sounds like a tune being played backwards, im having trouble hearing it due to poor band conditions and lightening static again, probably also because im very tired)
i thoroughly enjoyed tonight's program despite being tired, the large amounts of lightening static and having to jump to different Kiwi's due to band conditions changing over the course of time.
i hope the next time, i can relay your show 
0633z - music ended but hearing crickets/toads, probably part of the ending of song played - carrier off a minute later.
have a great weekend RH

Hey Redhat. Catching ya here at 0247 on 6295 with Collective Soul playing into Ramstein's "Radio" at 0250. ID at 0255 and chatting about the transmitter being pushed to 750 watts and being heard into western Europe! Shooting the crow at 0302 in Halestorm. Signal varies from S8 to peaks at 5 over S9 and as always, great audio among the static crashes. Thanks RH! Looking forward to some new tunes!
