Hi all,
Europe 1 is officially off from 0000 to approximately 0300, but there is
frequently a dead carrier for part of that time. Sometimes the audio
restarts before 0300, as well.
Europe 1 is now 2300-0200 off (during Eu summertime). In the past
weeks I noted no carrier in that time. A dead carrier would have been
not a problem with AGC off.
The sidebands are annoying over here -- I
can't imagine what they must be like on the other side of the pond. As I
recall, the audio frequency response of these AM stations is limited to 5
kHz (or was it 4.5 kHz?).
This is the problem for the reception on 185 kHz. The audio should be
limited to 4.5 kHz but most of the stations transmitting a broader
sideband, up to 6 kHz.
How bad is the interference in EU from the Iceland
station on 189?
During the winter I have reception of the Iceland station 24/7.
Despite the sideband splatter from 189 kHz, 183kHz and 177 kHz
reception is possible using very low FFT bandwidth.
