and tell them that their two transmissions of the BBC on 5975 and 5995
at 0300 UTC are somehow getting mixed together. Tonight they were about equal strength on 5975-so much so that I finally gave up after trying both LSB and USB. Normally I have to use SSB just to listen to BBC English. This isn't my radio, or a vagary of the atmosphere-it's occurring at the transmitter as far as I can tell. I don't have any way to make a wav of the signal or else I'd write them myself. Maybe somebody else could make a wav of this and email it to them? |

Maybe somebody else could make a wav of this and email it to them? Where are you? And what kind of radio? On Saturday (Sunday 03:00 UTC), I didn't have any problems taping "From Our Own Correspondent", and "People and Politics" in that hour. Clear and S9+10, up here in Seattle. On the other hand, the Voice of Greece program at 06:00 on 9775(?) kHz that I think comes from Delano was coming in under WWV at 10000 kHz last night. But that was on my FR-200 bedside radio, so I figured that it was just a strong signal on the VOG frequency overloading my $40 radio. With things drying out after some really wet weather here on the West Coast, it could be intermod from a natural diode formed from corrosion. Either near your antenna, or maybe at the transmitter site somewhere. Mark Zenier Googleproofaddress(account:mzenier provider:eskimo domain:com) |

Or, for my worst case, a corroded connection for an FM antenna to a big hunk of 300 ohm twinlead. Being in sight of three or four 50 kW AM transmitters, it put stuff all over the bands for the whole house. Mark Zenier Googleproofaddress(account:mzenier provider:eskimo domain:com) |
