If you live in a city area or some rural area with a real strong AM

Its a image from the broadcast station when the station is strong

Desired AM Station (kHz) - 900 kHz = Image Station

The images I am getting here locally in Virginia Beach, VA on LW is

150 kHz = 1050 kHz *WVXX -AM
210 kHz = 1110 kHz *WYRM-AM
330 kHz = 1230 kHz *WJOI -AM
410 kHz = 1310 kHz *WGH-AM
450 kHz = 1350 kHz *WGPL -AM
500 kHz = 1400 kHz *WPCE-AM

AM Band Images that are annoying

550 kHz = 1450 kHz
650 kHz = 1550 kHz

You are seeing a problem that is common to many inexpensive radios.
If you tune down 900khz from a strong nighttime station on the 6mhz
band you will hear image signals too. The solution is to pay more for
a better designed radio.

GCCRS,

Or simply Buy a Ready-Made one and use it with a
35~60 Foot long Random Wire {Longwire} Antenna

MFJ-956 : Long Wave, AM/BCB Medium Wave and
Shortwave Bands Pre-Selector : 150 kHz ~ 30 MHz
