Signal is very good here in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Clear audio! Your signal strength is lower on USB but your audio is clearer on USB than it has been for weeks on AM. Your signal is strong enough to clear the band noise here. When I use a wider bandwidth on USB, the quality of your audio on USB is as good as AM. USB is the way to go.

Thanks for your reports on our first go at wideband eSSB. 

For those curious...we are using a Teensy 4.1 to generate the 12KHz IF and DSP shelf it as well (using a Hilbert transform)... that is fed to the 9600 baud input of the Kenwood TS-2000.  We still have some more work to do on the bass response (need very sharp DSP filters).  Source is a SD card recording of the analog show (as would normally go to the AM transmitter).

Hey! This is last weekend's show!

Satan's Sideband, repeating shows, may the Lord Al Fansome have mercy on your soul!

You can't tune for fidelity, Marko, it's in sideband.

"Love Letters in The Sand". Even in SSB that brings out the crooner in me. Slim Whitman did a bang up version of it.
