UT almost always farts in this channel.
The neighborhood of a strong BCS at 3930 is also not happy.
They chose a vile channel.
And how is in your location?

What would be a better channel in your location Kris?

Here, I can find the Korean carrier on 3930 when I look for it, but I can't hear any whistle when I'm on 3935 LSB, even with a 6 kHz filter.

Of course, not the same in Eastern Europe, where 3935 is weaker and Korea stronger.

3940 seems free, now that Mike is gone on other frequencies. Other way : a change from 3935 LSB to 3935 USB.

The proximity of the BCS at 3930 is not a problem for the LSB as Ray wrote.
 In my case, the channel 3935 is irritating with some almost constant digital emission which resembles crackling (3kHz wide). These are definitely not local industrial disturbances, as the spectrum is changing indicating some modulation.
    The Majk 3940 channel is used, but the signal strength is lower than that of the station on 3930. Switching 3935 to USB modulation is the easiest solution and it is worth trying, it is clean there.
  From the other channels, the 3905 LSB and USB look promising - sometimes free broadcasters come in there, but not regularly and for a short time. I consider it's a good permanent channel for Zenith.
The BCS station on 3910 should not interfere because it is not strong and works tightly.
  3900 is not the best for LSB, because digi UT works widely on 3895.
 I am an enthusiast of SSB technique and I am happy to welcome every station that works in this modulation. The championship was achieved by Rurik Radio (7055 and 3731 LSB) from Ukraine using ESSB techniques. The readability of the signal is amazing.
