No joy in Colorado, so I'm tuned in to the Mixlr page online. If you're reading this comrades, the audio is distorted like it's too overdriven. Anyway, thanks for the show!

In answer to your question comrade, I've only heard two songs. The music is distorted, but not your voice.

Anyway, this is strictly through the Mixlr page, have no idea how the Tx sounds. I'll take a video of the song if it's still sounding that way.

Here you go comrade: https://youtu.be/Zwax2b0e44E

0030 starting to get a faint copy on the shortwave. Below the noise floor for now.

About S5 here @ 0023, a little noisy but decent copy with DW talking.

Switched to the pennant antenna, and S5 to S7 and less noise, good copy @ 0026 with "Black Infinity" by Sulk.
Figuring out the audio problems,  sounds good here 'over the air'.
