Hey all,
It's been a great 2 months with my IC R75 hooked up to my RF Sys passive antenna. It's not even properly rigged - but I've been picking up some great stuff here and there. I have a question.
Why is it that from 30 khz - approx 450khz I can't pick anything up? I hear that "machine gun" like sound throughout this entire span. I usually tune in at night to this end of the spectrum as recommended. I tried using the filters but nothing comes through. Is this just electrical interference?
Right after 450khz the normal local AM brodcasts come through as clear as a bell. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong / possible suggestions?
PS I live in an urban part of NY- about 20 min from NYC.
Thanks, this is such a helpful forum.
