After sign off of the Canadian Radio After Dark on 6960U, I switched over to 4185 to hear a nice ID and email for X-FM .  Pretty decent reception into Masset BC, where I have my remote receiver.  Working perfectly tonight!  All Summer Long by Kid Rock at 01:55 UTC.  Another ID at 01:59. and into something that Shazam couldn't decipher.  Thanks for the broadcast!

Heard X-FM shortwave at Gmail, Somewhere under the stars DJ Red Hat. So nice to finally hear a real station with good broadcast sound instead of SSB ham kids.

Propagation was kinda hit and miss last night.  In light of this, I will post links to an aircheck for this broadcast here later in the week.  As a special bonus, I will also post an off air recording from the stereo modulation monitor.
Watch this space towards next weekend for the links.  Please note, once an official aircheck has been posted, reception reports will no longer be accepted for QSL purposes.

Off air feed from the ASM-1 modulation monitor.  There is some distortion in the off air recording, which I did not encounter during lab testing.  I guess RFI is the likely culprit, as the PA tank inductor is inches away from some of the audio wiring. https://drive.google.com/file/d/141kddL8JeYFNEfdqaKEz4IvR9aA8FH1v/view?usp=sharing


Email me if you would like FLAC versions of the above files.

Thanks all,
