hi, all

i'm an owner of Sangean ATS 505 shortwave radio, since it features SSB
listening, i would like to know if there's a SSB station broadcasting
in my area that i could listen to

any advice or suggestions?

Hi,
I lie NE of you about 50 mile in Maryland. SSB stations are either
Amatuer radio stations orutility stations.
With the exception of the Armed Forces Network bobe
broadcast prograns.
Do a Google search for tility frequencies and you will
find all the above.

Most transmit in USB except amatuers which use LSB under 7 mhz and USB
above

2 government stations you should pick up easily are
8992 and 11176 USB

Also try 5696 khz for the us coast guard near the Chesapeake. Remenber
you have to park it on a frequency and wait till they transmit

Well... LSB is used above 7 MHz... it's known as 40 meters.

Nope, first guy had it right. Amateur convention is USB on 20 meter band
(14.0 MHz) and UP

Actually, 9 MHz. Some designs for popular tranceiver projects back
in the 50's and 60's used a 9 MHz IF, and 5.0-5.5 MHz VFO to tune both
80 and 20 meters. But that turned the tuning for 80 meters (3.5-4 MHz)
upside down.
