Using My AOR 8200 MK111, I've been picking up a ton of Shortwave stations with my new copper wire out the window antenna attachment technique.
I was playing around, manually scanning and was surprised to pick up something on such a low frequency, as I don't remember logging anything under 5.95. I had to force the scanner to AM mode, as the AOR is pre-programmed to force USB mode, just below 5.89 MHZ. The signal was strong, around 70% of full strength and the audio was clear.
I emailed their support, asking where the broadcast was coming from, as my internet research tells me that this band is mostly used in the tropics. Also, their broadcasting schedule doesn't list this frequency at all.
Has anybody in my area picked up this broadcast at this frequency? Is this normal to pick up where I am, or was there some atmospheric anomaly earlier? I picked this up from around 3:00 A.M. - 3:15 A.M. UTC.
Does anybody know where the signal was transmitted from?
