Post by: Sparkyzilla85 on September 16, 2018, 0129 UTC: 01:28 UTC "High Noon" by Steve Oliver is paling. S7 signal into southern Wisconsin. The bandwidth that I am seeing on my sdr is huge! That has to be the widest usb signal I have ever seen.

S5 with excellent audio
Title: Re: Mix Radio Int. 6870 USB 0046 UTC 16 Sep 2018
Post by: Treehouse SWL on September 16, 2018, 0703 UTC: I tuned in at 0142 UTC and kept it on through 0323 UTC (good music to have as background while folding laundry). The signal was pretty good and stable throughout, though the atmospheric noise and some static took their tool as the evening wore on. Also, after about 0300 UTC here, there was some interference from a utility signal of some kind, which made the listening more unpleasant.

1710. Thank you Exo for putting up the I/Q stereo clips of Mix Radio. It sounds cool in Stereo as it fades. This is the closest you get to Stereo SSB. I wonder how it would have sounded at 13 Kc. It sounded great at 6 Kc with nice low end. The sound is EQ' ed nicely for any audio bandwidth. Nice capture on your SDR.
