It turned out to be KGEI in the 6 Mhz band. (He got a new ->stereo). The only station that I have real problems with is all 50kW of KGO; their transmitter is about 4 miles from my QTH. It splatters from about 795-825kHz, and pops up at 1620, 3240, etc. etc. I don't know if they're at full power right now, though, as they had to drop to 10kW after the earthquake destroyed 2 of their 3 transmitting towers. There's a picture of it on (I believe) the January 1990 issue of Monitoring Times. The thing I have the most problems with is the modem for my computer. It creates more noise than anything else I've been able to find. -- Kevin Burnett, N6UWS (ex-KC6AOA) AMPR.ORG: 44.4.0.231 "She was an acrobat's daughter, she swung by her teeth from a noose; but then one day, her dentures gave way, and she flew through the air like a goose." - Daffy
