Starting Reception is a 0 to 1 on a scale of 1 to 10, from the K1VL KiwiSDR in Shrewsbury VT.
and I only have that much as I'm running bandwidth narrowed to about half of narrow AM mode, I note the music is 2 to 4 seconds ahead of the live stream
Reception from the DC kiwi was much better as mentioned above
Please send eQSL to [email protected] THANK YOU!

0102utc interference from mix
Take me to the river
-
I lowered the bandwidth and turned off the waterfalls.

Nothing there except MRI you must be hearing their echo.
BS was heard well enough to ID at first, and is better now with MRI waterfall graphics turned off and narrower BW. SAM w/LSB helped a good bit.
BS has no qrm as of about 0104 (see photo):
