Les, I'm not sure if they are still on the air or have gone silent, but for a long time there was an Hasidic Jewish pirate on 1710 in Brooklyn that was on quite regularly. Although I'm assuming the power quite low - under 100 watts - for a long time he could be heard via skip around the

Work has kept me away from the dials lately, but tonight I happened to be out driving around SSS time. A quick check of 1500 KHz at 5:55 PM CST revealed the “mystery noise” warbling signal dominant on the frequency. It remained very strong, peaking at around 6:10PM, before fading into a mix of

I'm hearing something occasionally on 1500 that I'd describe as a short-duration data-tone type "screech" over top of a higher pitch warble. The "screech" shows up as a narrow line on the Perseus display on USB only while the warble is audible on both USB and LSB.

One thing nobody’s mentioned is that the Wellbrook phaser shoves 12VDC out to the FLG100/ALA100 at the antenna for signal amplification. I don’t believe any of the other units discussed does that and a flag or loop or whatever based on a FLG100/ALA100 WITHOUT amplification just isn’t the same.

I have an "original" ( from 1969 ) balanced altazimuth 4' "NRC Loop" with FET preamp which was built by the late Gordon Nelson. I haven't used this combo since my second HQ-150 went silent about 8-10 years ago, but it worked very well at that time. I cannot use it with my Sony 2010's and would
