Jamming out to more of the stuff I grew up with this evening.  Not my typical set, but maybe more conventionally appealing tunes.  Money in ISB Stereo is rendering wonderfully.

And for the bandwidth police I'm running 11kHz wide, 5500Hz on each sideband.  Band conditions really want a bit narrow at this point. 
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

Running a little lower power than usual about 900W DC input with the unmudulated carrier on the amp.  So probably like 350W carrier? I restarted all of the equipment and the power levels defaulted to lower than usual...and okay I rolled with it.  If it sounds like kilowatts...maybe I shouldn't say anything? :)
