Turns out I need a receiver that'll p/u sideband, as my current one isn't geared for such.
Hi again Tomkat. During “normal times” I occasionally listen to sideband at around 7,100 KHz give or take. Once or twice I heard activity at 14,135 but not since. I’ll have to try the 3.9 MHz the other poster suggested once I get my random wire antenna on the roof fixed. I think it is too low a frequency for the Degen indoor loop antenna to be effective, although that antenna and tuner is really good at reducing noise.

Virtually all HF voice communications today are single side band. Time to upgrade!
