[Elecraft] A KX3 oddity????

[Jerry]

Good Sunday evening,

 

I was playing around with my KX3  on the AM band this morning and moved the
receiver down to 435 Khz where I picked up an extremely loud signal. This
signal  turned out to be a radio station WiQO which broadcasts on 100.9 and
is located about 12 miles from my home. 

 

The station does not have an AM presence and here are some of the
specifications of the FM radio station WIQO;

 

                                         Station Status:     Licensed Class
A FM Station

                  Effective Radiated Power:    210 watts

                  Height above Avg. Terrain:   511 meters (1677 feet)

                Height above Ground Level:  20 meters (66 feet)

                                     Antenna Pattern:  Non-Directional

		
		
		
		
		

 

It appears to me that this is an KX3 internal situation.  I'm just curious
if others have experienced this type of reception in the area of 300Khz to
500Khz. I pick up no other AM or FM stations in this frequency range. I have
also made the station manager info on this e-mail.

 

 

Best regards,
