0244 UTC I have a weak carrier with threshold traces of audio. Also somebody keying CW over the frequency.
0250 UTC Possibly an OM talking?

Seeing a decent S8 signal, but local interference is killing the audio end of it.

Does anyone notice a difference using a C-QUAM demodulator? It sure seems like I can hear the difference and that there is something resembling stereo.  I'm not sure the level of separation expected from the system. 

Band conditions are shitty tonight.

Shuffled down to 6932 kilocycles. Avoiding licensed users of said spectrum.

SINPO=45444, a bit noisy, but a powerful signal and clear audio overcome it easily.

357- OM and YL speaking back and forth in German.
357- "Red Alert" by Epsilon Minus.

Nice solid signal tonight into Masset at 04:35 tune-in.
Radioactivity (by Kraftwerk) at 04:38.
Glass by Unto Ashes at 04:45   (marred by a brief digital signal). 
Always interesting music from Sternradio!    73,  Walt

04:52   Moved to 6931.6 (at least I presumed it's Sternradio still).  Now fair.  Just before the switch there was someone on 6935.5 with a very strong carrier.  On, then off, then on for longer, then off again while Stern was still playing.  Then Stern left 6932, and presumably shifted down. 

04:59   Put Your Trust In Me by Neuroactive
05:07  Sternradio ID with their outlook.com email address for QSL (eventually!)
05:08  The Wait by Killing Joke
05:28   "Transmitter is smoking.  Smoking will kill you"
06:18  ID and email address in English, then German.  Concluding their broadcast.  Into a fanfare  (Nsk, by Laibach)
06:22:30   OC then a sound like a zipper, and off.  Thanks for a most enjoyable show tonight!   Good night, from off the NW coast of North America.

Band conditions are shitty tonight.

I tried QAM mode on my Masset Kiwi and it sounds pretty darned good, despite the rather weak signal now (04:56) on 6931.6   Certainly a lot better than side band or AM mode, and better than SAM.    73,  Walt

Excellent! It seems to be doing what it should be doing.  Platform effects from selecting fading(very obvious from SDR FFT) vs real stereo split...hard to tell.  The math is simple enough.  Did I hack up the code properly? Maybe!

Here's 6 snips of How Sternradio sounded for me in Hope BC from 0233 UT to after 0500 UT

I note that things seemed to start i at 0230 with what what sounded like a telephone dial tone and then a busy signal at 0233. While signal was S7 for me it was rather noisy all night
