Came in late after a phone call

23:07 Waterfall Logos  Stren Radio
23:12 The Fog - Bonginator
23:17 "When you have a bad day... give up" (you know the rest)
23:17 You're Going Have to Kill Me - Blood for Blood
23:26 Wolf II - Castle Rat
23:31 Junior's Eyes - Black Sabbath
23:35 Buzzing with Wallpaper Logo Art
23:35 I Hate - Overkill

23:39 Sick Of You - GWAR

23:57 Station ID

00:??  Heaven's a Lie - Lacuna Coil
00:08 [I have to stop here, having some system problems]

Moderate to strong signal, Reception varied, between a 7 to 8 on a scale of 1 to 10
Using the Ashland, MA Kiwi SDR

Might I also mention that I looked at what other users were listening to on this tuner and all 3 of us were tuned in to the same thing.

Please e-QSL to [email protected]
Are you listening in ISB Stereo on that SDR?  That is, if you click the SAM button until it cycles to SAS.  That will get you the TRUE Sternradio experience!  I transmit in ISB AM Stereo.  Well. Sort of.  Its compatible with it ;)

I do that when reception is good enough (which is most of the time) or I just listen in AMW and crack open the bandwith legs as far as they will go.

How DOES the signal sound in AMW?  I try really hard to be compatible with traditional AM envelope detectors with the ISB AM stereo stuff, so, that feedback is appreciated :)

Not too much different than SAS, except it's mono, not sure if the channels mix in or if it's a single channel. If I were to guess, the radio mixes it.

If I've done it right, the *radio* mixes the composite signal into a pleasing mono signal!  The only truly mono aspect of the signal is the low end. :)

Exactly as I was estimating it should do.

Band conditions have been really favorable towards that part of the world from the icy shores of East Antarctica these days! Propagation is a strange beast! :D

His face is properly long.  That's about what I expect Mr Yuk to look like.  I mean, now I'm thinking I need to do a variant of the logo where he's smiling or some shit.  Fuck.  Now I have more shit to do. Thanks! (For the inspiration! :D) Maybe...like make the one sideband smile instead of frown.  Oh hell, that would be sexy.  Shit dog.  The bar is closed boys I'm an artist! :D
