I have with a good signal.  Better in USB.  German language vocals.
2314.  Sounds like Heavy Metal Rock  Shazam says The Fog by Bonginator
2318 You're Going Have to Kill Me by Blood for Blood
2328 Thank you for posting the ID, Sternadio.  Sorry no ISB detection.  The carrier has been fading a lot, but the sidebands have been good
2333 Try various demodulators,  AM-Synch, AM-Magnitude, LSB, USB.  USB is still the best for me.  Using 4.5 KHz bandwidth

It's Sternradio!  If you listen in USB, you're hearing just the Right Channel!  If you listen in just LSB you're hearing just the L channel!  Okay...there is some VSB stuff going on as well that gets you some mono content too...but!  Got an ISB AM Stereo detector? :)
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

I will have a reception report a little later, but I have an idea for those using kiwis, just use 2 computers, have one on LSB and the other on USB since the modes don't really work the way needed for proper reception. This is like the way people used to listen to stereo broadcasts when a radio station would have an AM & FM combo.

If you don't hear from me

something is greatly amiss!

The QSB really adds to the Hammond. :D

You know, the QSB really adds a performative aspect to the transmissions.  There is the whole matter than this modulator that does AM Stereo and all of the other fun things it does isn't a piece of art on its own!
