I'm not following the reasoning here. How are listeners never fighting noise below 1710 kc? In some cases noise (or by noise are we thinking of QRM?) is worse on medium wave broadcast channels because noise is usually AM and so are the desired signals. Also the receiver passband is wide. Those TIS stations usually run only 30 to 50 watts and use physically small antennas. 73 Rob K5UJ _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
