XFM on 6960 AM here.  About a s8, with occasional deep fades, but otherwise very decent signal.

Thanks for the shout out XFM

Good S9+ signal at 0046 UTC (11/1/2012) with the announcer mentioning this is the Halloween show. Decent amount of fading on this signal, though.

Pretty good signal here; hopefully, it'll get stronger as the evening goes along. Heard BOC "Godzilla"...announcement with talk about Wolverine R on the air now, too, and accurate TCs.

Thanks much for the show!

Thanks for the shoutout XFM.
Using a 100' (total) inverted L antenna up 30 feet and listening on my DX398 with a nice strong signal.
No interference tonight and only slight fading.
