Changed freqs a couple times at start up. Currently on 6963.67 (approximately).
Listening on and off near the ocean in CA on a portable and a long wire. SINPO 33232 / S5 on peaks with a fair amount of flutter tonight. (The same thing was happening to Solar Federation Radio.)

0311 - Computer-generated male and female voices. Perhaps reading the email address in English and German.
0315 - Carrier off immediately after completion of national-anthem-type of song.

Tuned in at 0203 utc on Barrington Hills IL sdr with fair S5-S7 signal, technopop music, at 0209 male then female said "this is Stern Radio"

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise.

Strong signal in western NY on 6963.6 khz

Announcements are hard to get even with a strong signal, computerized voice seems deliberately distorted

0158z   Electronic music
0203z   "Stern Radio" (thanks to others who have posted on this one, I thought I was hearing "Syko" or "Samurai" but now I hear "Stern")
0226z  "Stern Radio" with address for QSLs. but I copuldn't quite get it, even with a phonestic alphabet, maybe "sternradio666@", finishing with "Das ist Stern Radio"

Drake R8B, 600 foot longwire aimed west
