6920U since 0011.  Initially barely audible, up to audible now (0019) although quite weak still.

Despite high static levels bass-thumping music cutting through the muck.
Be My  lover by LaBouche  -0029.
At 0050 signal improving playing Back Stabbers by The O'Jays.
Improving signal with music by Selena ,  Christine Aguilera.
, and Al B. Sure!!
Really decent audio quality.
Off @ 0159?  No ID heard though.
What a shame not to know what station that was.
Thanks, anyway, for the show.

if only there was an id.
sdr with horizontal loop antenna, 20 feet up, 250 feet all around. wellbroke loop for amdx and tropdx, very very lucky reception.

SDR recording catch.  This might be the widest SSB signal I have observed, looks like 15 kHz, although I left the IF filter at 7 kHz to reduce the hiss. SIO 433 to 444. Really great audio most of the time. Thanks for the broadcast!

i was provided an audio sample and screen shot and i am surprised to see and hear this kind of fidelity of wide audio for SSB operation, looks to be beyond 15Khz !
i wish i was awake when this OP was operating but i was sleeping like a corpse in a coffin LOL
im quite sure this is the same OP from last weekend at 6900Khz AM who also had the same audio beyond 15Khz.
hats off to that OP ;)
