[QUOTE="s-band, post: 1017408, member: 407744"] If your RX doesn't overload you might hear the carrier, at least. An SDR with <1Hz bandwidth? The problem will be knowing which TX you are hearing unless you can see several. From observation, most AM/MW stations are at least a few Hz of their stated frequency. Time to get the Beverage strung out (or use a fence);) I had a listen on 648 using an active rod antenna and a modified RTL-SDR. In the early evening I could hear one station playing rap and top 40 with Eastern European voice. The modulation was only just intelligible at ~6dB SNR in 6kHz. It peaked to the SE and Caroline will be NE from here. I found this in the archive: [ATTACH]107802[/ATTACH] From 2005 when BBCWS were using 1296 for DRM. It was pointed towards the Continent and I was on the back of the beam so it wasn't very strong. [/QUOTE]
