Tried that, Steve The station was so weak it was undetectable in either

even a coule of tenths of a kilohertz either way. Guess I'll have to
wonder about that one for awhile.

I guess my question at this point is: What radio are you using? If you are able to pick
up something in AM mode, you 'should' be able to use USB or LSB to zero beat the carrier
of the station, even in situations where you were not able to get any audio from the
signal.


Sorry, I misunderstood you - yes, I did zero the carrier wave. I'm
using the Icom R-75. Only with *extremely* weak stations do I get no
audio in USB or LSB - more often than not, that is how I fine-tune every
station. Faint as it was, it was 3295 on the button based on zeroing
the carrier (also very weak) and the reception in AM mode.
