Lots of signal into north Canada. Music sounds great, lots of high energy dance tunes. ID's by OM but VERY bassy/muffled sound makes difficult copy. 
Please QSL to MaplRadio@gmail.com

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

1/1/12, 6940 AM, 0505z: Just tuned in, heard Beach House "Walk in the Park" and X-FM ID.  Great song.
0514z: X-FM on mic, can't copy most due to heavy local RFI and fades.  BOC "Don't Fear the Reaper"
