Hi Chris, took a while to respond. I haven't had the radio and SeaTTY running in a while. Open the Help tab and open Contents to read about the AFC settings. I use a tube receiver that drifts some so I will have wider settings. The AFC basically lets the cursors search for the signal. Bigger nu

As reported already (by Colin, Nick, Walt, Dennis and Bruce) it was another big gun Asian revue this morning, with a few cameo appearances from second-tier TP's at times. Besides the usual potent signals on 594, 693, 747, 828, 972 and 1053 there were anemic signals on 603, 657, 738, 936 and 113

Conditions were decidedly unexciting today. JOUB-774 and HLCA-972 were the only stations with decent signals. Otherwise, a handful of the regulars showed sub par signals. There was no sunrise enhancement to speak of, except for 972 which had its best moments after 1400. GOOD 774JOUB, ni
