A lot of the people coming here are innocent. This is a time to welcome and encourage people to chipmusic.org rather than give then an excuse to turn away and fuel yet more dissent amongst the chip music community. I get your perspective, I really do, but people need a place to find answers, you're fortunate (chipmusic.org) that people are coming here for them, which says a something about the community wanting to come together.

They vary but can bein the KW levels. They are typically AM, but the one I have heard have been on SSB piggybacking on a broadcast station's AM carrier, though, therefore decodable with an AM radio.

I'd also like to point out that there are also a couple of broadcast AM stations with /modulated/ carrierwaves which contain what appears to be a bitstream. Very low bitrate, and very odd indeed. One of them is carrying what appears to be a atomic clock time sync code.

Wow, being referenced before even joining a community. Awesome. smile

Interesting effect as well is multipath propogation. Signals go out from the antenna in almost all directions, and it has the possibility of arriving at the recieving station at slightly different times depending on which route around the planet it took. You get an interesting phazer effect because of this as signals arriving out of phase with others cancel out part of the signal. It's actually one of the big problems on shortwave.
