Dear Roelof, LF Group, The requirements for the service area of a NDB is a fieldstrength of 70 uV/m at the borderline. So to cause noticeable interference, the offending signal must be rather strong.Many NDB's share the same channel, apparently without problems.Unless you actually live in or near the service area of a NDB in the 472-479 kHz frequency range, the NIB regulations won't pose a problem. The ADF receivers that use these beacons essentially process the carrier amplitude and phase received using directional antennas in order to obtain the bearing. So the effective bandwidth of the receiving system can be made rather narrow; the audio sidebands are mostly there for ID purposes. Since there are always many potential QRM and noise sources in the MF range, ADF receiver design has evolved to cope with quite poor SNR. So even if you are located near or within such a service area, provided you keep clear of the actual beacon carrier frequency, ADF receivers will probably not suffer harmful interference. This should not be too hard with 7kHz to play with, and only a handful of widely scattered beacons within the range - it is only common sense to avoid using a frequency where there is a strong beacon signal causing you 24/7 QRM! Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU |
