[TenTec] LW receiver - did it sound normal?

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

On the signal you received was the modulation normal sounding or distorted 
in some way?

Tom,
Ineresting idea of two AM broadcast stations producing the signal at 260
KHz, but as I did not hear any signal but the 1160 KHz station there, I
think it is probably a product of the IF mixer.  I was using the Sub
Receiver.  It was a 10 over S-9 signal at 260 KHz and a 40 over S-9 signal
at 1160 KHz.  When I get time, and conditions are similiar and I can tune it
in, I'll hook up my old Tuned Receiver Front End Regenerative (RAK-8)
receiver and see what I hear at 260 KHz.  No IF in that old boat anchor.

Thanks for you reply.

Listening on 260 KHz with my ORION II tonight and heard KSL5 radio in  Utah
which broadcasts on 1160 KHz.  That would be 900 KHz below their  broadcast
frequency.  I'm curious about this and wonder what exactly  I'm listening
to.

Besides, it is time to talk about something besides  headphones... :)

I had similar a few weeks ago, and it is possibly "your station" and a
second broadcast station near by proudcing a ifference frequency between the
2
stations and the rig is picking up the combined signal and detecting it at
.260

it is not a harmonic, but could be a difference freq if two strong am
stations are close by.
