There was some digimode stuff behind me, moved back to 6961.666

I have it with a fair signal.  Just ID as Satan's Radio, email address into a song. Some digital mode now.
0047 moved to 6961.8

Like a hooker, I know when to move to another corner!

[sternradio666]

I moved to 6946.666 to avoid some narrowband donkey.

No honor amongst thieves.  Cunts.

[sternradio666]

Fuck it, we'll lose a sideband!

[sternradio666]

I'm down at 6938.666 currently.  Damn you all!

Hi noted on 6938.7 with low signal, also with some deep fades; but I can hear the music in the signal peaks SIO 232

thanks forthe show, greetings from Colombia

Still sounds good with one sideband!  S9 in East Tennessee.

It's amazing with the 0Hz reference of the carrier does for AM audio!

I like you back on good old AM again.  You're audio is good out to around 14khz, but then fading makes it noisy.

What sort of receiver do you use? I'm curious as to what isn't happy with sideband + carrier.  Much of this is an experimentation process for us.

0211 Switched to USB

Signal very strong, but difficult to make out voice or enjoy music. Perhaps over-equalized, over-compressed, IMHO.

[sternradio666]

Heavy metal tunes are the true challenge of an AM transmitter.  Transformers growl just as loudly as the guitars.

[jmblack42]

I'm using a Reuter RDR Pocket. It does fine with a single sideband, but I had it in SSB to start with and it was fiddly to tune your signal.  Switching back to AM solved that.  And then you went back to AM.

Much of that is the source material.  I may be a little over aggressive on the compression myself.  I play some very...not pleasant music sometimes.  For example, Satyricon does not do well over AM.   One learns a lot about the hits of the past by blasting out shitty AM today.

You want to be a hitmaker? Blat out your tunes over HF and see if they sound like garbage not, if not, you might have a hit.  Really.  Shit we've learned here at Sternradio.
