Averaging around S7. Sounding good in SAS mode (Kahn ISB stereo) on my KiwiSDR.

Receiver: Unlisted KiwiSDR configured to 3-channel wideband mode.
Ant: Homemade "Wellgood" 1m amplified loop normally kept in a fixed position (NNW/SSE) to keep 1500 KSTP in the null.

Hi! At a bit lower power than prior...like at around 700 watts DC input now.  Was closer to 1200W input before...smoking.

I'm always surprised how well the transmitter does to your part of the world!

You're getting the proper Sternradio experience!  I cut the bandwidth down to 16kHz(8kHz each way) due to conditions and overheating transmitter.   But the SAS sterep setting on the KiwiSDR is one of my target receivers.  It's what Leonard Kahn wanted AM stereo to be!

Band went SUPER long.  I'm gone from the K3FEF SDR and the Boomerthedog in Yinzerlandia SDR too.

Yep, lost you just after I posted. Thanks for the show, and soldiering through the Das Boot engine room-like conditions in your shack to make it happen....Herzlichen Glückwunsch aus Molvania!
