AFRTS (USA Armed Forces radio) on Shortwave?
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Stephanie Weil" saying something like: Is this page still accurate? Has anyone in the USA ever heard these broadcasts and can report back on the signal quality? I regularly listen to AFRTS from Iceland from where I am in Ireland, a thousand miles distant, on 7590 LSB. Given it's an omnidirectiona output and only listed as 10kW, I'm reasonably impressed at the quality of it most nights. -- Dave |

I'm not sure, but ISTR that sometimes they have been known to put different programs on different sidebands? Dave |

Some days there's a pretty weak USB component but LSB is the consistently stronger of the two. You've some sort of receiver problem. dxAce Michigan USA |

Some days there's a pretty weak USB component but LSB is the consistently stronger of the two. You've some sort of receiver problem. Maybe, but it's not showing up anywhere else; SSB on all the ham bands is fine. Tonight, for example, the USB component is there on 7590 and quite listenable, but LSB is definitely better. Who knows what happens to the signal on its bouncy journey across 1000 miles of open ocean. Well, it sure doesn't shift from USB to LSB on its trip! You have a receiver problem. What exactly are you using? dxAce Michigan USA |

The other Dave at 45N 75W Well that is a big surprise. Time to add the goof ball to your kill file before he starts hearing "voices" on LSB again for a USB station. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Well, it sure doesn't shift from USB to LSB on its trip! You have a receiver problem. Looks like you were right in that. I was playing with the IF shift on USB and LSB while on 7590 - at that time, both sidebands were in evidence then the lower sideband disappeared when I went back to it, leaving only the upper one which is now coming in strongly. Quite why it was showing that effect, I don't know. Honestly, it was coming in clearly on what appeared to be LSB prior to that. Thanks for the nudge. No thanks to Telemon. -- Dave |
