Enjoying Rod Stewart at S9 to +10 in EXTREEEMLY WIDE USB here in Central Vermont.  Appears to be 10KHz but I can only tune in 6KHz of it.  Time for a new receiver.  I can't hear above 7KHz anymore anyway.

Update: Switched the KiwiSDR to 20KHz mode (3 RX) and now can get the whole thing.  How does one create a 10KHz+ wide USB bandwidth?  I don't my Kenwood can do it.

See...I had a mullet in the 80's, business in the front, party in the back.  Now I just have the back, so it's all party now!  Unless bald in front and the top means something.  Beard grows good though.

Thanks for the show!  Gotta go...time to DANCE!

Perfect Frequency as well.  Super Pro.  You truly do dare to be different!

Deep fades at about 2315 on but pretty good signal before that.  Love the music choices, I like that stuff.  Nice wide bandwidth signal into Vermont from 2300-2315 or so.
