Having a great time listening in EN81, although tonight i'm using a KiwiSDR based in Raleigh NC area so I can listen in glorious stereo!  I only have an OpenWebRX+ receiver here, and it doesn't demodulate QAM (I also have a portable receiver, but it doesn't demod QAM either)

Nevertheless, the signal into the Raleigh KiwiSDR is excellent with relatively insignificant fading, and I'm definitely enjoying the playlist.

Use the SAS setting on the KiwiSDR not QAM for best results.  The signal is sort of CQUAMish..but it's really properly ISB AM Stereo.

obviously moved to 6935 kHz
0138 huge waterfall image, the OM announces Stern Radio in Independent Side Band AM, with the finest in heavy metal, industrial, and dark alternative music; then YL gives same script in German, all over electronic music that continued.
0141 segued into music that must fit into one of the three aforementioned categories!
0145 new intrumental song; EDM, perhaps?
0147 segue into another EDM, or a continuation; YL whispers over it
0152 thumps continue under a zipper sound, then speed up into next song, about Radio -
in the song is Morse message "radioactivity is in the air for you and me"
0159 orchestral march music, then Churchill speech
0204 more orchestral music and huge waterfall image
0207 off air

signal still seems to be there, but lost major strength about a minute ago

scratch that - had to have been a change on the kiwi I was using.

Yup...the band just shifted like woah. From one of the remotes I was listening on.  Took it from top to bottom! 



I'm QRT. Thanks for listening everybody.

Via a recording.  Sternradio started on 6933ish in the lower side band of the Woodstock Part 2  broadcast, but quickly swept down to 6918.3.  They remained on 6918.3 for about a minute and then tuned to 6918.0.
