Yes, I was listening too with a Drake R8 and a Heathkit VLF converter. I replaced the 3.5 MHz xtal with a 4mhz xtal in the Heathkit converter and was waiting on 4017.2 kHz (4000khz + 17.2khz) and heard nothing but moderate local noise. Was able to hear those 2 fsk stns just above 20khz but they are always there. Also WWVB at 60. One of these days I'll have to build a 17.2 kHz resonant loop, with cathode follower to match impedance to the receiving eq.
