Default AFRTS (USA Armed Forces radio) on Shortwave?

saying something like:

I regularly listen to AFRTS from Iceland from where I am in Ireland, a
thousand miles distant, on 7590 LSB. Given it's an omnidirectiona output
and only listed as 10kW, I'm reasonably impressed at the quality of it
most nights.


I'm listening to it as I write and I show 7590 USB with nothing on the LSB.
I'm not sure, but ISTR that sometimes they have been known to put different
programs on different sidebands?


Odd. I definitely get it on LSB. Some days there's a pretty weak USB
component but LSB is the consistently stronger of the two.


You've some sort of receiver problem.
