Hello all. Testing a different audio feed. Trying to simplify things here.

No more EQ or tuner. Got almost 25% more power without the tuner.

Let me know how it sounds especially the EQ, lows-mids-highs.

Thanks!

Fair reception, much noise
1813 "Five to One" The Doors
1815 "Gloria" TD, waves of noise occasionally obscuring entire transmission
1818 Peaks and valleys of noise continue, unusual for your broadcasts received here

S9ish signal and good audio heard via the SDR in Shrewbury, Vermont, with some noise and occasional fading ...

1814 UTC: "Gloria" by The Doors. (Sounds good overall, though maybe the low end's a bit weak. That part is hard to judge on a Doors song, though.)
1820 UTC: "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors.
1823 UTC: "L.A. Woman" by The Doors.
1829 UTC: The fading is getting more frequent as "L.A. Woman" wraps up.
1831 UTC: "Light My Fire" by The Doors.
1839 UTC: After a minute-long pause after "Light My Fire," the signal went off.

The audio sounded good overall. Might need a slightly more bass-forward band than The Doors to squarely judge how the low end sounds.

Good/VG here with some slow fading. Doors cover of "Gloria" at 1817. Audio sounds pretty good to me
