and now 14+ kHz vsb
The VSB really reinforces the bass if you can manipulate your filter to below 0 (into LSB)

Very nice audio via NATVC SDR in Burke, Virginia, as of 2350 UTC.

I checked the SDR close to me near Seattle and the Northern Utah one, and this signal's not making it anywhere out west right now.

Checked back in at 0240 UTC and found a fair signal on the SDR down the road from me in Machias, Washington, and an audible signal directly on my own radio. Still sounds good!

Hearing this relay at 0101+ via the remote site at VE6JY antenna farm with a nice signal, s-reading at  nice s7 to s8 on the Wellbrook loop, as well, on the DKAZ loop towards  Europe, with the same s-reading.
Really a enjoyment to hear stations making it out here into Alberta !!

To Mix Radio, thank you for the show....
