Good signal with a little noise via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR at 6968 AM ...

2203 UTC: "The Hidden Cage" by Die Form.
2205 UTC: Sternradio "transmitter is smoking" ID repeated numerous times with OM and YL voices in English and Germany.
2207 UTC: Song that Shazam couldn't identify.
2209 UTC: The bilingual "transmitter is smoking" ID was repeated again several times, then "Killing Game" by Skinny Puppy.
2214 UTC: OM-voiced ID mentioning its usual stereo broadcasting system, then "Crucify Me (12" Version)" by Moev. And, yes, it DOES sound very good in the SAS mode on this SDR!
2219 UTC: "Bored to Death" by GWAR.
2223 UTC: "El Presidente" by GWAR.

Thanks for the broadcast, Sternradio!

Seems I've gotten the distortion issues sorted out with the Kahn ISB AM Stereo sorted out.  Those -45/+45 phase shifts are key details!  When they don't work...it's not very "compatible" with envelope detectors. 

Anyone listening in stereo?

Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.
