I'm close to Galveston Bay. My ham antenna, which I use for SW, doesn't work
well below 5 MHz. But I did try, using my DX-392, and heard nothing, not even
with the BFO on and rocking the BFO's variable.

Because I noticed my eTR7 received 3210 better, using the grounded dining room
chandelier -- LOL -- as an antenna, than my 392 did on the outside ham antenna,
I moved the 392 to the dining room and listened on 2182. Still nothing. But
that doesn't mean it's not there. And this was done between 1300 and 1330 CDT.

I'm surprised it hadn't been reported to the FCC and taken care of by now. Of
course, trying to get in touch with the FCC these days is near impossible by
phone. The hot line numbers I had no longer work, either, not to the Houston
office, not to the Kingsville monitoring station.
