Title: Sternradio 6958 AM 0116 UTC 13 MAR 2025
Post by: Skipmuck on March 13, 2025, 0120 UTC
0116 UTC Hearing threshold music...possibly a thumping beat, but audio is deep in the noise
0122 UTC Fade-up...definitely music with a thumping percussion
0123 UTC Possibly a YL and then OM talking...could this be Sternradio?
Deep in the noise again...
0132 UTC Another light fade-up...rock tune?
(I generally receive Sternradio here much stronger...lousy prop I guess. Thanks mtq and Treehouse SWL!)
0134 UTC I recognize the synth voiced Sternradio OM now  8)
0140 UTC Tuned back in and the music is solid above the noise at S6 peaks....don't recognize the tune

0124: Sounds like a man talking with a woman's voice once or twice.
0127: Unid music. As for Skipmuck's question about Sternradio I did get the impression that the female voice sounded like it.
0134: Same deep voice sounding Sternradio id by a male.

Fair with noise via the Northern Utah SDR ...

0127 UTC: "Destroy Everything You Touch" by Ladytron.
0130 UTC: "Beauty of Poisin" by Specimen (this is a Sternradio staple song).
0134 UTC: OM-voiced announcement: "This is station Sternradio," then reminding listeners the station's using stereo to broadcast.
0135 UTC: "Carry on ... Screaming (Ruins)" by London After Midnight.

Thanks, Sternradio, for the music!

Sounds a bit distant, fluttery and "freaky" to me using receivers in the midwest US. I assume that's because there is a geomagnetic storm right now and the K index is about 5 or so.

0134 - Computerized voice ID.
0141 - Music is fading down, or I'm losing the signal. One or the other.
0143 - "Technical difficulties. Transmitter is smoking. Smoking will kill you" (Repeated auf Deutsch)
0210 - "Technical difficulties. Transmitter is smoking. Smoking will kill you" over a telephone busy signal. Switched to Northern Utah kiwi with log-periodic antenna pointed east. Much better.  :D
0213 - Distorted metal tune.
0224 - "This completes our broadcast day."(Repeated in German.) Email address given phonetically.
0227 - Official sounding anthem-type song, with male reading bits from Winston Churchill's "We Shall Never Surrender" speech in 1940 over top.
0229 - Carrier Off.

Propagation is shit towards the right coast, I suspect the left coast peeps might be able to hear some tunes.

Yeah, that's basically true.

Yup its me and my fucked up transmitter and shit.  Propagation is shit towards the right coast, I suspect the left coast peeps might be able to hear some tunes.   Still experimenting with the Kahn AM stereo system.  Leonard Kahn's patents were very detailed, yet getting the details the right and making it still sound compatible.   Thanks for listening folks!
