Title: On 3710 Khz unknow stations Post by: pe1mph on April 03, 2012, 10:44:13 AM Hello AM Lovers,
This morning I listen a long time to 3710 khz. Time: between +/- 06.20 - 06.55 hour by me. (04.20 - 04.44 Londen GMT time) I heard AM stations from the USA on above freq. A pity often ssb blowing them away. I tried to listen in AM narrow, but difficult to understand who. Perhaps 3 or more stations were this morning (by me!) on air. My ears open and with my pen I were ready to note names/calls. One station were around S3 by me, I note this on my noteblock: W1BTC But I am not sure if this is correct. Very difficult to copy USA calls for us Europeans! Most AM-ers speaking their calls to fast for us.... And I heard more stations on 3710 khz this morning! Sorry I could not get their names or calls... The other stations were around S1 or 2 by me. Is there now an AM round on 3710 khz? On 3705 often splattering from SSB (3703), so 3710 is much better for us!

I heard Jean F6AQK a few times, but the signals were not as good as the previous year, and we had more QRN, plus I just didn't hear as many stations on.

We were on 3710 for better than a half an hour discussing photography... Title: Re: On 3710 Khz unknow stations Post by: VE3LYX on April 04, 2012, 08:19:17 AM Henk,
I dont know if you have one but when i get in trouble with SSB covering am signals. i turn on my regen one tuber (12sl7.) Because of the different setting for CW/ SSB vrs AM I can completley get under the SSB and hear fine even though the modern digital rx or superhet cant copy. I used it on the weekend with the moring QSO with our Ontario Morning group. Perfect copy in an otherwise impossible situation. Could not even tell the SSB was there once i had it set right. This particular set I built can hear better then any other rx I own, including my TS830S) For those who havent tried it but think it might not work, try it first.before making a judgement. You will be surprised. Don VE3LYX Title: Re: On 3710 Khz unknow stations Post by: pe1mph on April 04, 2012, 09:45:39 AM The two stations you heard this AM were Al, W1VTP and I, W3GL...

This is hanging from the roof to 2 trees, around 15 mtrs high. A pity often ssb stations blowing all AM away! We got often big troubles to receive AM on 3705. Germans splattering sometimes over 3707 khz! Therefore I prefer 3710 khz.... When I can not receive clearly the AM station, I listen in: - AM narrow - ssb (usb or lsb) mode - in cw When I can not receive it on one of above ways... Then I wait.... and hope the ssb leaves the freq. Don! Or I listen to another freq. to find AM stations... Greetings, Henk, pe1mph |
