Bearly audible in the UK at 0132 UTC with the Grundig Concertboy of mine - un-modded, I'd like to add!

Picked up enough to go to AM mode at 0200 UTC whilst playing American Pie. Not sure if anyone else got him in AM.

Talking by XFM around 0207 UTC.

ID and email, then into '4th of July' by Soundgarden @ 0144z

S8 @ 0204 with ID.  Going into a 3 song set where he wants listeners to figure out the theme of the song titles/artists.....

Sounding really good here in the Boston burbs at 0145 UTC. S9 with peaks S9+10, some typical summer noise, grunge rock song (Soundgarden?). Smashing Pumpkins (or some Billy project) at 0149.

SID, Email address and introduction
(missed song while I was binging up email)

We've had horrendous thunderstorms this week, so QRN is pretty bad. you are a consistent S9+10 to S9+20
Your audio is always very professionally sounding - excellent tone range for shortwave. I've always like your "conversational" style.


SID - 0211
Billy Idol - "White Wedding"

I just tuned in at 0335z - signal is S6 or so over some light static on the band.  Yes, audio is great as usual.  Getting ready to sign-off now.

Recorder Catch on 6950AM

Capped XFM 0153-0341z here, and it looks like a very solid S8-S9+5 signal throughout the show with great audio here.  Looking forward to listening in detail while working in the yard today.

Thanks XFM!

SDR catch. 0118z sign on, fair signal, S6 to S8 mostly, at sign on, improving as time went on with some peaks to S9.
