2354 S9+, Industrial Metal music playing. Sounds like 2 different songs at the same time. Sometimes it's confusing for me to figure out
        what Stern is doing. So I guess he is doing it right!

I CAN in fact do that!  But, I without going into too much detail, the signal really has THREE components.  Basically the "sub" channel getting modulated on the carrier along with the LSB = L and USB = R.  Sort of.  It's kind of like Dolby type matrixing going on to get the ISB compatible AM stereo.  It's ALSO sort of compatible with CQUAM detectors.  That aspect only works as well as CQUAM works at all.
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

From a recording earlier tonight:
2342 2342 'The Fog Interlude', 2344 ID over song, 'The Fog' both Bonginator, buzz, 'Bad Burger' - Peepeepoopballsectomy,  OM w/ South Asian accent partly over music (difficult to understand despite adequate signal), 'Save a Prayer' - Hooded Menace (off and on several times), finished song, 'My Place In The Dirt' - Demon Hunter

S 7-8.  Noisy.
