Really late on this one, and the next morning's TPs are already coming in (16 Dec 1340UT). In fact, might be worth turning on the radio if you're reading this in the west; things like 1053 and 1044 have been heard already, although the big JJ guns aren't that strong. Anyway, back to history.

 The signal on 1710 was much stronger last night around midnight but I was a little dismayed at what I heard.It turned out to be a mix of my local 900 and KGO 810 SF so I tried to figure out how an IF image of those two signals could show up on 1710. 455 Khz x 2 is 910 so 1710 - 910 = 800 . that

You're right; that "image" can actually be produced by two station's signals mixing...although that usually happens when they're both strong signals. Interestingly, the mix can be happening external to your receiver. (One station's signal can be introduced into the other station's transmitter a
