Thanks for listening everyone!  I think I've got my implementation of the Kahn-Hazeltine AM working correctly!  I'm not entirely pleased with the results when hearing them through a standard envelope detector, but I think that was a result of me wanting to push the stereo separation a bit more than typical.  Receiving it though a compatible receiver though, well, that sounded just lovely! 

Did anyone else manage to receive the transmission in stereo? 

I've been doing C-QUAM experiments previously as well, I'm not convinced I could really *hear* the stereo separation as well.  What do you volks think?
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

How did that sound in C-QUAM? I wonder if you were just hearing ionospheric phase shifting? It didn't strike me to RX the Kahn system with QAM.  :)

The signal sounded like stereo thru the computer speakers.
