S8 to S9 @ 0107 with Redhat on the mic.
0113 - "Hells Bells" ACDC.  Using the Afedri SDR with SDRdx software with C-QUAM enabled.
0207 - "Frankenstein".  Nice song to test stereo.  Getting a few fades but still getting decent stereo separation.
0237 - "Shot In The Dark" OO.  Fading had gotten worse but has improved now.  Mostly S9.
0243 - "Shadowplay" The Killers
0256 - Depeche Mode
0304 - "Stripped" Rammstein [cover of Depeche Mode]

Thanks for the show!  I'm happy that I got a chance to try out my C-QUAM reception capabilities.

As of 0111 UTC, the signal's rising as the sun goes down here, and I could hear Redhat a little, but it's just barely audible so far.

0126 UTC: Still too much noise to hear Redhat very well.

0240 UTC: Still just barely audible here.  :(

Still, nice to see X-FM showing up again!
