Hi,
This is a spur from CBK 540. Yesterday evening I was listening to
Lars Larson on WNAX 570 which is almost straight south of here and
heard lots of squealing and whistling underneath. I rotated my
Sanserino loop E/W and the squealing and whistling almost completely
buried CKSW 570 which comes in quite good here. I started tuning my
GE superadio up and down and heard good audio around 576 on the dial.
I started scanning up and down and the program matched CBK 540. It
could be the result of the severe thunderstorms that went through
Tuesday evening.

Well, it was an odd one; must have been a spur, but strangely, it
suddenly weakened at 0450UT, then restrengthened again suddenly
0451UT, then died away for good at 0453UT. Meyerton sunrise is at
0456UT. So, I don't know what to think, as it didn't look like a
normal fade, but certainly it was rather a coincidental time to
disappear. Obviously, will have to keep checking.
And yes, the usual 1566 this evening, with the usual Doppler (?)
smearing.
best wishes,
Nick

Anyone else getting a carrier on 576.000 kHz at 0420UTC? This has
an audible het, heard on E-W ALA-100 and the northerly Flag, not on
the westerly Flag. Unfortunately not noticed on indoor loop, so
haven't been able to get a bearing.
best wishes,
