Mix Radio 6850 from 6860 AM 2205 UTC 23 June 2018
« on: June 23, 2018, 2208 UTC »
 :o Yeah, a PRO sounding AM station here. Some storms coming in here on Cherokee Mt. But the station is sounding GRATE !!
Just dropped carrier at 2208 Signal was S9 plus here.

 Returned with nice signal at 2220- I'm.. your hearts desire.  Very COOL audio !
  This is a PRO transmitter. I think its Fleetwood Mac ??
  2236- Female Station ID.. and that is FMAC. for sure .. ID was Mix ?? something.
Congrats on the transmitter is as GOOD a BCQ, but I hope less power. :P
Carrier now peaks at S-9 plus.. sounds great. Loads of storms here to make it difficult. Some kind of SSB interference in background.
2254 female ID, " thanks for tuning in MIX "-
2256- How deep is Your LOVE ? - Nice tune Beautiful spectrum of sound
2324- Beyond the Sea.. Nice..
Could you dig and play Ray Conniff version? Used to play that as a kid.

listening to "Mix Radio" on a remote SDR with impressive 16Khz wide audio and generous low frequency audio, sounding very professional :) although the remote SDR is limited to 5Khz audio, i can see 16Khz on the spectrum waterfall.
there are very little to none SWBC stations with this kind of audio quality.
also, thanks to the OP for emailing me some details on your professional station - we are both in the same arena along with many other respected quality sounding AM OP's - its pleasant to see and hear other quality sounding AM OP's out there - wish we could chat a bit more though
