Good S7-S9 signal here. Listening in SAS (Kahn ISB stereo) mode on the Kiwi.

How does Throbbing Gristle sound in SAS mode?  This is usually one of the better stereo separated tunes I play, but QRN is a little high this evening on the remotes I usually monitor, but I can still hear the slapping going off in the one channel.

Pretty cool. You can hear the clear stereo separation.

0150: Off. Uh oh, blew another tube?

0227 utc: Music with Sycko Radio ID

Pushing S3-S5 with quite a bit of QRN tonight.

0255 utc: Getting some good fade-ups at times pushing S7. Sounds good with stereo separation using QAM mode on the Kiwi. QRN is getting worse sadly.

You can record on the Kiwi while running the SSTV decoder, and if it misses a decode, make note of the timestamp, and go back to the recording later and pass it through a different decoder program.

Pushing S5 here with some QRM. Still running Kahn AM stereo?

2137: Listening on a Presque Isle, WI Kiwi where it's coming in at better than S9+10. Sounds pretty good with SAS mode!

2152: signed off.

Keep up the good work.

Mama And The Papas - Creeque Alley is a good song if you want to test out single channel modulation.

0138 utc: Moving in Stereo - The Cars

Looks like we're running C-QUAM again tonight. The pilot tone injection is a bit weaker than last night. Not hearing much for stereo separation though. Platform motion on the Kiwi doesn't help.
