I'm listening to some hams on 1.947 at 2342. Is this a normal amateur
radio
frequency?

COLD winter nights are a lot of fun on 160 Brian, check out some of the
audio quality these guys have. A lot of them sound like they are running
surplus commercial broadcast transmitters, while others are running old
Heathkit DX-100's...Eddie

How long has it been since Loran stations used that area of the
spectrum? I remember hearing them on/about 1700-Khz at least 30-years
ago.

Been a good while. Over 20 years. Maybe late 70's???? I know they
were gone in the early 80's, as thats when I first started using 160m,
and I never had to deal with that awful racket. I sure remember it
from the 60's and maybe part of the 70's. Terrible noise...MK

Yeah, I remember - if I'm remembering Loran correctly, it sounded
like
10,000 air conditioners running at once, or a squadron of B-17's.

I think you're recalling the old data utility (Sitor?) that sounded like
the roar of airplane engines. The Loran sound had a kind of phase shift
quality to it.
