153 kHz has been coming in good but nothing like 171 kHz which at times 
sounds like a local.  What stations is CLB covering here at my QTH.  If 
CLB wasn't so strong that station would be Q5.

Hi Dex,
       I believe 216 KHz is Radio Monte Carlo. If you have a receiver like 
the R75  you can engage the ANF - auto notch filter - and it will filter out the 
1020Hz Identifier tone on CLB. It is very rare to hear Radio Monte Carlo 
strong enough to override beacon CLB down here in SC.
       I can usually hear  BBC 4 on 198 KHz in the background underneath 
beacon DIW 198Khz in Dixon, NC. Usually not strong enough to make out much of the 
audio there even with the notch filter engaged.
       Does anyone else notice the audio modulation depth on 153KHz always 
sounds very low, like they are only modulating 30% or so? 
       LF broadcast has been extremely good the past week or so here in SC 
since Christmas. Glad others are noticing it too.
