XFM 6945 AM December 16
« on: December 16, 2012, 0316 UTC »
Definitely a LIVE show, (not a tape) as ID's were given with current UTC time

Male ID 03:10 Booming Signal here in Illinois! Solid S9  Said to post signal info to HF Underground.
03:15 Song
ID at 03:16 This is XFM
3:19Song Classic rock song  with person singing in German  ---  Signal Solid S9  Would guess OP running higher than usual wattage 250-500w.
ID Op said took request from Dr. Professor
03:25 ID "Sequel radio - XFM"  

Your signal here in Illinois is B O O M I N G !  As good as a lower watt Chicago AM station if that helps. Listening on KAITO1103 w/ 30' longwire up 10 feet running North / South - hope that helps... Station has smooth production values with clean, crisp mike work. (IMHO)

ID - 03:30
03:30  Spoof song "Since I left You"

03:46 ID Shout out to Renegade Radio
03:46 Song "Africa" - TOTO
03:53 op talked about eating BBQ and watching the same helecopter camera news shot of the Conn. school massacre. etc. "smearing the nation"
03:56 Song Don Henley "Dirty Laundry"
04:21 Fleetwood Mac song - Still strong S9 signal-
04:37  Signal down to S6-S7 Audio still clear.
04:44 Song CSNY Wooden Ships -  Signal S5 peaking at S6 now
Thanks for the show!

Please QSL...  Thanks Steve
