I was up late (again) last night so tried the band from 0100-0130 PDT. I noted many many hets on the split frequencies. Most only when I used the LSB/USB filters but some, like 639, 828 etc were loud enough to be heard without the filters. No audio on any. The vast majority were received best when the Kiwa was pointed SW. Which figures as there should be a dark path to the South Seas whereas Northern Asia should still be in the latter part of daylight. 738 was really loud on LSB considering how close they are to KCBS-740.
Also noted KTCT-1050 local effectively wiping out 1040 & 1060 with their IBOC. The nasty buzz which had plagued me here for the past 2-3 years seems to have dissapated considerably. I still have a nasty blanket covering hum noise when looping NW on the low end of the band (650-700). Might be caused by KNBR on 680?!? However, I am very greatful to be able to once again try to hear something without being buzzed to death. I heard KFRC-610 ask listeners to listen to their station on the internet. I wonder how many 'main line' stations are trying to recover lost 'skywave listeners' by going on-line? Don't think I've heard any thoughts on that on the list(s)... Don K. S.F.
