Yep, that makes sense... (IIRC KAIJ is in New Mexico)

I've also been picking up more than my share of images in the shortwave
ranges, so this seems to make some sense to me despite the jargon. g.

ready to mail my Grundig back to China with a letter enclosed telling

where they can send it from there. This whole shortwave/AM DX
experience
has been extremely frustrating.

I might suggest you'll have more luck lower in the AM band. There's
more interference between stations but all the signals are stronger and
chances are anything you hear will actually be broadcasting on the
frequency you hear it on.

The spurious receptions are, I'm afraid, generally a function of the
quality of the receiver. An inexpensive receiver is going to have more
of these. Scant comfort, I know...

That's okay. I can face reality. It's funny, though. I did a lot of research
into SW radios before I went with the S350, and I don't remember anyone ever
complaining about images, etc. Now I almost wish I'd gone with the YB400 as
I'd originally intended. Oh well....live and learn.
