Hi Jim, No one has yet reported a strong enough signal to be sure if its a mixing product or a harmonic. Because everyone -- so far -- is reporting a weak signal I suspect its a mixing product. Two reporters said that the audio is badly distorted and appears to carrying two programs. The

I'm much too far away to hear anything, but the obvious question is, "is it a harmonic or a mix?" So is anyone hearing it loud enough to tell if there are two programs or only one? 73, Jim K9YC On 1/4/2023 7:04 PM, sam...@epix.net wrote: From NE PA FN11VF bearing is roughly NNE. Too

Hi Frank, I am hearing it here in WNY (Rochester area), but very weak (S1 at best). I can hear it on my vertical, or using receive antennas only when pointing southeast. 73, Ken N2ZN > On Jan 4, 2023, at 7:32 PM, Frank W3LPL wrote: > > Hi John > > Your results suggest the 1940 kHz

Here in the Greater Boston area, the signal peaks from the southwest on my 8-circle array. It's not real strong, varying between S4 and S6. I can tell there is some audio in there but it's not strong enough to identify. 73, John W1FV -Original Message- From: Topband

It is not that strong here in central NJ. FN20SI It seems to peak NW on my 4sq but much louder on my inverted vee. That usually means it's within 100 miles. 73, Andy N2NT On Wed, Jan 4, 2023 at 7:12 PM Frank Donovan wrote: > The intruder AM broadcast station on 1940 kHz continues tonight > >

I haven't seen anyone mention ferrite chokes. 1 turn through 73 material binocular cores or beads should fix that, from 160m through HF. Place them as close as possible to the GFCI. 73 Mike W0BTU _ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector

Are the offending GFCI circuit breakers Eaton brand? They are known to trip from HF transmissions and it is reported that Eaton will supply "HAM" circuit breakers at no cost. I can post Eaton contact info. Some people have simply replaced the offending GFCI with standard circuit breakers. 73,
