LF: The bells, the bells!

["Andy Talbot" <actalbot@southsurf.com>]

When I used to listen 30 years ago on AM in a wide(ish) bandwidth at ~1900kHz, it sounded like a bell jangling - was this the same signal as your 'bandsaws' ?  The signal was often referred to as the bells, I seem to reecall.

Excellent description, John!  And a rather slow disco DJ, at that.

 

Here, I believe the frequency span was roughly 1700 to 1900.  One could often hear them with an AM broadcast receiver, and 160m was largely the Unknown & Barely Usable Ham Band.
