360kHz == 1260kHz?

Postby TRENT310 » Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:33 pm

Those of you around Edmonton and own a Grundig/Eton G5 or variants... I know a bunch of you guys have one among your collection.

The question is, if you punch in 360 and push the 'AM Enter' button, do you hear CFRN 1260?

...Because I do, and I'm trying to figure out if this is kind of a 'birdie' in the radio where it's some odd harmonic/image mixing going on or something to do with the IF, or just because I get such a high field strength from CFRN's signal that I'm just hearing it everywhere.

I'm near Southgate and yes, I hear this on my G3 and my ICF-7600GR.
I also hear AM930 on 250 kHz. and a beacon at 201 kHz.
The beacon is probably call sign ZXD.

Interesting note about the Z-X-D morse code. Because I hear it EVERY DAY when I drive past that site at 61 ave and 109 st because it takes over my AM broadcast band radio reception. Sometimes I hear it over my CB radio too!

Well, I guess good thing I don't live in Parkallen.
