0103 Just a weak carrier ... I don't have a good antenna for this frequency range ...

Very very weak here in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area with the loop in the 350°/170° (too lazy to go out and turn it and readjust attenuation) position. Can hear music is in there. Floating at around -98dBm.


C-QUAM pilot 0127 UTC:

Quite a good signal here on the SDR recording, here's my audio: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1021029304970252350/1148269478552027227/1740AM0058UTC4Sep2023.mp3

You can see the 25 Hz C-QUAM pilot in the Carrier Sleuth waterfall:
