Title: check 486kHz!
Post by: IQ_imbalance on December 25, 2020, 1613 UTC

Think i could see the carrier last night, but i've got a lot of QRM around there so can't be sure.  Wasn't able to make out any audio.

I can hear it tonight, at 0231Z.  I have heard it previous years on my KiwiSDR with a much stronger signal, but I was using a large LoG antenna then.  Tonight I am using a Buckmaster OCF antenna and the signal is right at the noise level, but it is there.

Hearing very very weak music on 486 AM right now (0346z).

Signal is much better at 0614z with station ID and music.
