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.



WWCR, if my memory serves without checking, is at 32310 KhZ - the
ground floor of the 90 meter band - so if it was above 2500 and below
that, it was technically not in one of the international broadcast
bands, (which a boatload of international broadcasters aren't these
days!) but it was closer to the 90 meter band.

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.
