While copying TAG running GBPSK on 185.800 kHz with 400 Hz IF last night
I couldn't help noticing the strong sidebands from Europe 1. The 183
kHz was very strong but not in the clear. I could not determine if
there was another BC signal on the frequency or if I had something local
distorting the audio. So I tuned down band and found a useable signal
from Germany on 177 kHz and a very good signal from France on 162 kHz.
I have uploaded a few short clips cut from recordings I made between
0400 and 0500 UT. The 177 kHz signal was much better at 0430 but I did
not record that frequency until after 0500 UT. It isn't real good but
couldn't mistake hearing the Beetles "I Want to Hold Your Hand".
