I wish I could avoid the distortion that I get when doing Kahn ISB Stereo.  Or well, the distortion that regular receivers end up with.  Seems there is just some destructive cancellation going on there.  There must be some other magic I'm missing.  It sounds pretty good when rammed through a proper ISB stereo decoder though.

The music can be heard normally, but there is a bit of oversaturation. Maybe you should lower the audio signal level a bit?
On 6962 AM is now, 22.26 UTC guitar music.
22.36 UTC off signal.

Where I'm getting into trouble is with the L - R stuff on  the upper sideband.  The lower sideband is the L + R channel. The other sideband is suppose to be L - R.  That's where things get messy, it seems.
