[Elecraft] Broadcast band interference

[Tom H Childers]

Check the addresses of your local AM radio broadcasters.  You may
have one very close to you and not know it.

Here's a way to find where and who the broadcaster is.

If you have an AM radio in the house compare the signal on the KX3
with those you hear on the AM radio to see if you can identify the
station you're hearing.

If a station is very close, you may have to use a filter at the shack
end of the feedline to notch it out.

>I'm having occasionally issues with broadcast band interference on my KX3, SN. 564.  It seems to come in at random times throughout the day on multiple bands.  All of my antennas are tuned to the band I'm using them on and not just a random wire type.  I tend to see the problem mostly on 30, 20 and 17 meters. Any reason I'm getting this type of interference and is there any way I can take care of it or block it.  Sometimes it's loud enough to be a problem when trying to copy weak CW signals.
