Exact frequency is 6850.25 kHz. S9+10 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR. Horribly distorted audio (not overmodulation, bad even when volume is low).

1923 UTC-Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani
1924 UTC-Meglio Stasera (It Had Better Be Tonight) by Fran Jeffries
1927 UTC-East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed
1931 UTC-Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll by Jethro Tull
1934 UTC-OFF

Thanks everyone for listening to what was the inaugural broadcast of Cloudsplitter Radio!

It's obvious I have more work to do on the old tube transmitter.
Killed the show early due to distortion.
Always a work in progress.........

Appreciate all your logs.
