I'm curious as to what frequencies you are hearing Radio Japan, CBC and WWCR on in the
120 meter band.

I know WWCR is up in the 90 meter band on 3210.

Here is the embarrassing (or interesting) part...I restored a 1954
Philco table top radio with the "Special Services" band. It covers
1700-3400 Khz.
I was pleasantly surprised at the sensitivity of the radio on that
band using just the built in loop antenna.
The band is poorly marked making the frequency hard to read. I can
tell you that it is above 2500 and below WWCR.

It does not sound like a harmonic. I cannot find this frequency on
their web site, however. There are other broadcasts in that frequency
area also.

Sounds to me as though there are images being generated by/in the receiver itself. Now that
I know it's an old Philco, I'm not surprised!

Still a nice old set to listen on, providing one knows its quirks and limitations.
