There's quite a bit of FM on his carrier (literally: his carrier is 'FMing') to ... switch to FM mode and note demodulated pgm audio ...

I should add, trying to find the 'carrier' with a narrow CW filter ... it is FM'd so it's not a pure CW tone ...

Just an observation; I'm not criticizing ...

Sounds okay in AM tho!

You would not believe how good the signal sounds in FM ( 7 kHz bandwidth setting on an Icom ) during those quieter segments of music ... I kid you not ...

J, How you like that Degen 1103? I picked one up a couple of yrs ago and discovered its a nice radio for very little cash. Other than the funky volume control mode...

The Degen - hottest thing since a Texas summer like the one we've been having ...

Have learned to live with the volume control 'thing'. Amazed at the performance on AM and SW bands.
Title: Degen Active Loop DE31 antenna

Another thing Throb, I'm finding use for the DE31 active loop antenna I bought with this Degen 1103 radio ... I've got the antenna with suction cup attached to the sliding glass door/windows listening to SW (WBCQ 7415) with a T-storm in progress ...

Will have to try the Active Loop antennas on a car window, since it is known that telescoping rod antennas don't/won't work in side a car (owing to the 'waveguide beyond cutoff effect' and for the same reason 2 Meters doesn't work well from inside a vehicle but 450 MHz and 900 on up do.)
