Default RCI 9755 Splattering

It's 0020 GMT. If you can hear RCI's french broadcast on 9755 kHz
splattering on 31 meters, then please respond.

Up and down the band... typical RCI. They seem to have that problem
quite a bit.

Sounds alright here in Southern MN. 5-10db over s9. Some fading.

You'll need a second receiver, tune the one to 9755, then go up and down
the band with the other. You'll hear the splatter on the modulation
peaks.

What's their problem,over modulation? Maybe bad bias of the finals? Maybe
their engineers are asleep? I'm curious? If its ongoing that's a bad sign.

No idea. But the last time I heard it wasn't that long ago, and it was when
that transmitter? was tuned to 9515.

Certainly not the first time RCI has had this problem, if I recall correctly
it's happened off and on for many years.

I wonder what kind of TX they run. I'm gonna check their web site.

I think they have 3 old Collins there and 3 Harris and at least 3 ABB - Asea
Brown Boveri transmitters.

But perhaps some of those may have been de-commissioned.

Beats me. I wanted to document that others were hearing it too. They
apparently have a problem with one of the their transmitters. My guess
is that this problem TX is the same one they use on 9515, because back
around Christmas, I heard the same splatter problem. Steve (above) heard
the splatter also and responded to a post I made to the newsgroup.

This evening, I was trying to listen to VOA on 9775 and they were all
over them. Tuned up to 9820 and noticed they were interfering with Radio
Havana also.
