Moderate to good signal with little fading. However, the noise is high ruining a good broadcast. Thanks for the broadcast tonight Redhat.

Gotta love propagation, full quieting at 0242z.

She is.

SINPO=24332, nice smooth sound, characteristic of Redhat's typical audio processing magic!

236- "Walking At A Down Pace" by Parquet Courts.
238- Recorded OM station ID.
238- "Sinking Feeling" by The Wavves.
241- Redhat IDs last tune, gives time check. Signal unfortunately took a dive while he was talking, so tough to copy all of a sudden. Redhat talking over music. He checks HFU and gives shoutouts...Many thanks RH! IDs and gives email address. IDs next tune. Timecheck, and then recorded OM station ID.
251- "Dance Of The Clairvoyants" by Pearl Jam.

Listening right now in stereo on a Colorado SDR. Sounds great! Redhat with talk about being on the mixer & screen end of things. Said that he's met some listeners & had a chance to meet their families & hang out in their space--very cool!

Just checked & X-FM's audible on the Durango, Mexico, SDR
Sounding really good on the Maui, Hawaii, SDR at 0438
