Try it out on Sackville Canada relays, which is more or less the
poster child for synch detection being necessary.

6120 from 5-7am EST, or 6145 from 7-8pm EST (Radio Japan) being
one set to try.

You get huge distortion without synch detection, most of the time,
as the carrier and sidebands have wildly independent strengths.

Assuming you can hear them ; I guess they cover the eastern US,
where they're quite strong.

So it's a fine example of strong-signal selective fading.

FWIW the 6145 broadcast is coming in clear at 7:45PM EST on a Degen
DE1103 and no sideband is needed. Missed the 6120 broadcast so can't
report on that one.
