What kind of receivers are you guys using to intercept these stations? I've been trying to here something but I'm thinking my radio is too small. I have a Grundig G6 Aviator with just the whip antenna...are my chances slim to none to catch utility signals in SW Ontario?

You should be able to get it with a whip, at least with some readability. I get it +20 here with a dipole. It is in USB also, not AM!

Thanks! I'll check back often to see current frequencies so maybe I'll get a chance to finally hear something. The Grundig has a SSB setting that does USB and LSB simultaneously...I hope this will still work well.

No no no, you want USB ONLY. That must be a DSB (Double Side Band, pretty much AM without the carrier) so you will be picking up an extra 3 KHz you don't need.

Well there's my problem..Thanks again

Actually with the weaker signal off the whip, you should be better able to tune voice in because the BFO won't be so overloaded.
