X-FM 6285 AM 0225 UTC 31 MAY 2020
« on: May 31, 2020, 0225 UTC »
Big signal here, ambient bits of audio about radio
0230 "Russian Radio" Red Flag
0233 Redhat on the mic, X-FM ID at 0234
0241 "Synthetica" Metric
0245 "Welcome to Paradise" Green Day
0253 Redhat on the mic. I forgot to shazam the song that followed Green Day.
0257 "Godzilla" Blue Oyster Cult
0301 brief Redhat announcing next song which is "Judith" A Perfect Circle
0305 "Good Times, Bad Times" Led Zeppelin
0308 "Factory of Faith" RHCP
0312 X-FM ID into "Lame Claim to Fame" Weird Al Yankovic
0316 "8 Piece Box" Southern Culture on the Skids
0320 Redhat on the mic
0326 "Might Be Right" White Reaper
0331 "Let's Dance" David Bowie
0343 signals starting to fade here, still SIO 333-343 or so but no longer strong enough to beat out the noise on the band. I'm going to stop logging here and try to enjoy the rest of the show. Thanks Redhat!
.....
0410 just checking in. Signal's better, SIO 444 at least, with someone covering "Running Up That Hill."
.....
0431 Redhat's been on the mic for a few minutes. Turns out it was Meg Myers I heard at 0410. Signal's full strength and 25 kHz wide. Amazing!
.....
0503 show still on, Redhat on the mic with song titles, signal's taking deep fades now.

SINPO=33222.

229- "Angel" by Massive Attack.
230- "Russian Radio" by Red Flag.
233- Redhat: Excellent, wonderful. This is...X-FM, music to the power of X. Wherever you are. The great expanse, wherever you are, somewhere under the stars. Anyway, this is XFM. A lot of unrest, but don't really want to talk about that. Because your daily dose of paranoia can come from anywhere. The bugs are out. IDs last song. Shout out to listeners (thanks Redhat!) Talk about troubles in the news. My brain is just awash! OCD. New music on the agenda tonight. Meg Myers' excellent cover. Email address repeated. Requests welcome. Gives time. Reception reports welcome. Count recordings and youtube as reception reports. Details necessary for a QSL, to include last year's greatest hits. From 2012.... Music from the power of X, gives time.
241- OM recorded XFM ID.
241- "Sythentica" by Metric.

SINPO=23222.
321- Harder to hear now due to QRN, but Redhat IDing station and IDing songs and years. Shout-outs to listeners. Provides email address. Thanks for tuning in tonight! Talking about band White Reaper. Time check and ID at 325. IDs next song/album and then station.
326- "Might Be Right" by White Reaper.

Catching the start up of the Mighty X on 6285 using the Utah Yellow SDR1 with a S7-9, peaks hitting 5 over S9 and audio sounding excellent with Russian Radio by Red Flag. Looking forward to as always, a great show! Being safe here. because of the rioting, all the major interstate highways are now shut down here in the Twin Cities. Thanks for the show this late evening Redhat! If you can fit it in, how about something from Led Zeppelin? Thanks again buddy! :) Thanks for playing "Good Times Bad Times"! Song kinda fits in what is going around here. Thanks again! Be safe!

Trying to get away from the static of storms, found a Kiwi SDR in Kahakuloa, Maui, Hawaii with a S7 and excellent audio and no storm static! Going across the Pacific! So cool Redhat! It is the Kiwi73 AT AI6VN/KH6  SDR. :)

0226  Ambient music, movie clip, rock music, Redhat talking about a number of things on his mind including concentrating on music and not current events, ID's, gmail address, phone #, accurate TC, offering e or postal QSL however it might be slow, canned ID into rock.

S7 with usual great audio here.

Tuned in at 0252utc, weak signal under low noise, hear music then DJ talking incl giving the time.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires. I don't have Uverse but neighbors do. williamhassig@yahoo.com
