CHU Harmonic Bonanza 6660 9990 13320 2204 UTC 7 Dec 2014
« on: December 07, 2014, 2204 UTC »
Hearing harmonics of 3330 on 6660 9990 and 13320 kHz. (I have picked up these harmonics before) Nothing on 16650, which I have never heard before.

I'm hearing this on 9990 KHZ at 2212 UTC, but the voice announcement is distorted. Nothing on the other multiples. I have never heard a CHU harmonic either, including the obsessive shortwave years from 1981-1989! Thanks for the tip Chris S!
From 2215 UTC, I am no longer hearing it. Still nothing on 6660 KHZ.

Thanks Chris...I checked out CHU on 3330 KHZ while the 9990 harmonic was on, and the signal was a real powerhouse! I like the way the S-meter bounces for each beep. It was beeping up to S9+10 even with the 10db attenuation switch on( I have to do that otherwise I get daytime overload from a local AM station.)

Skipmuck - I updated my logging to confirm that I have heard the harmonics before, it's just 16650 which I have yet to receive. I assume the radiated level by that harmonic is very low.
