X-FM 6285 AM 0205 UTC 10 MAY 2020
« on: May 10, 2020, 0206 UTC »
0205 presumed based on inside info I got, but also a really big signal that's X-FM's signature. I think they play this music as an interval too.
0209 "X-FM is now on the air"
0210 "Everybody Knows" (sounds like it came from Pump Up the Volume)
0215 Redhat on the mic
0222 X-FM ID, then "Surfing on a Rocket" Air

Here's how your signal's coming in to Denver:


0225 X-FM ID
0226 "Dreams" Beck
0231 "Careless Whisper" Seether
0235 Redhat on the mic
      here's a bit of what it's like on my secondary rx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLigL8Jlngw
0239 "Prison Sex" Tool
    dang, signal looks to be around 25 kHz wide on the waterfall
0244 "Down When I'm Loaded" Oleander
0249 "Lovedrive" Scorpions
0253 Redhat on the mic
0302 "Homosapien" Pete Shelley
0306 X-FM ID into "Judith" A Perfect Circle
0311 X-FM ID, Redhat on the mic briefly, into "Tranquilize" The Killers feat. Lou Reed
0314 "Don't Know Yet" Silversun Pickups
       0318 - cut off for a couple of seconds
0319 Redhat on the mic, X-FM ID, into "Sweater Weather" The Neighbourhood
0323 X-FM ID into "Ordinary World" Rust
        0325 - reception's starting to slip a bit, still quite strong though. I'll probably stop logging tracks now though. Thanks for the show Redhat! Good to have you back on the air under your own steam.
...
0506 QRT

Great show, sir. Thank you!

Catching the start up of the Mighty XFM on 6285 via the NA5B with a S6 and peaking to S9 and audio great as always at 0205. Leonard Cohen at 0210. Swictched to the W7RNA/Sedona, AZ SDR. Much stronger signal and audio excellent! Looking forward to a great show Redhat! Be Safe my friend

Music audible but weak directly at my radio and on the K9VD SDR a few miles southeast of me.

0209 UTC: Sounded like an ID as the "warm-up" music continues, then a spoken audio clip.
0210 UTC: "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen, which is a telltale opener for X-FM (and a great song!).
0215 UTC: Redhat on the mic. "Holy smokes!" Gave the email, talked about fixing his antennas outside today, about the snow up in the Northeast, read the HFU posts.
0222 UTC: ID and email into the song "Surfing on a Rocket" by Air.
If you'd be so kind as to play a Kraftwerk song in honor of Florian Schneider's passing announced this week, that would be great, Redhat. Choose a short one, not the 22-minute-long "Autobahn"!
0225 UTC: Canned ID, into "Dreams" by Beck.
0231 UTC: Canned ID, into Redhat giving ID, email into "Careless Whisper" by Seether.
0236 UTC: Redhat reviewing just-played songs, reading the HFU board.
0239 UTC: "Prison Sex" by Tool.
0245 UTC: "Down When I'm Loaded" by Oleander after Redhat popped in on the mic.
0249 UTC: Song title, ID and time check, then "Lovedrive (Remix)" by Scorpions.
0253 UTC: Redhat back on mic, with song titles, reading posts.
0302 UTC: Canned ID, then "Homosapien" by Pete Shelley.
0306 UTC: Canned ID into "Judith" by A Perfect Circle.
0311 UTC: Canned ID, then "Tranquilize" by The Killers.
0329 UTC: "Radioactivity" by Kraftwerk. Thank you!
0455 UTC: Still can hear the music directly here near Seattle, though conditions are getting noisy.
Just sittin' back and listening for awhile now ... The signal is weak but listenable directly at my radio. Thanks for the music, Redhat!

Strong signal at 0205 with ominous sounding song- Everybody Knows (Leonard Cohen).
0225 Beck - Dreams
Very nice full-throated audio with impressive bass.
Gave a listen on the portable switch radio - a Tecsun PL-660 - and signal not only good, it sounded good.  Great job tonight, X-FM.
