Thank you - I learned something today and that makes it a good day.
I knew it had nothing to do with receivers of any kind. My misconception was
since it was such a powerhouse that its signal strength was really large and
there for in a simple receiver it would, depending on QTH, simply swamp out
other signals.
Thanks again! This is new to me over here.
Doc.

Subject: Re: LF: "Crystal" set sorts
Tom,
> Selectivity was the strongest signal. Is this the "Luxemburg effect?"
The Luxembourg effect has nothing to do with crystal sets!
The Luxembourg effect is when a very high power transmitter causes
non-linearity in the ionosphere resulting in mixing of different rado
signals. This effect was 1st observed prior to WWII on the very high
power LF transmissions from Radio Luxembourg.
