Sounds like a "car at highway speed" or something to that effect. Anybody notice this sound? Since AIR is the only station that I know of that uses this frequency, I am wondering if this is some kind of jamming. Moreover, this sound is barely 10 kHz wide centred about 11622 kHz or so. I do pick up AIR on 11620 at the scheduled times as given in WRTH but with this severe interference. The audio heard improves when tuned to the Lower side band. Regarding 9910 kHz, I received the English broadcast today at 0040 hrs UTC fairly well. This txm lasts till 0115. The other frequencies 9665 kHz and 15020 kHz are pretty good in the morning at 1330 UTC (0730 CST). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sriram Narayan 810446 Texas A&M University | INTERNET: narayan@photon.tamu.edu | Go Alain Prost!
