No, it isn`t! From what you say it looks as if you, among other relatively new DXers, have fallen into the trap of reporting off-tuned frequencies as displayed on your readout rather than the true carrier frequency of the station. ONLY the latter should be given as a station`s frequency, because that is where it really is, regardless of interference problems, which you may then detail with e.g. the necessity for off-tuning. The carrier frequency can easily be determined by using the BFO/SSB/CW setting; cannot easily be determined on receivers lacking that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
