[R-390] Mystery Antenna

[sdaitch at mor.ibb.gov]

I never correlated any interference from aviation navaids to the AM or FM broadcast bands, but I have received signals on car radios.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Emory NDB (EMR) at Augusta is on 385 kHZ and is easy to pick up along 15th Street, on the second harmonic.

In Greenville, NC, the localizer was at the low end of the NAVaid band, and I could easily pick it up on my analog tuning FM receiver.  Even though the localizer is an AM signal, I could hear the tones on the FM receiver, although quite poorly.
