NHD, hope you don't mind a *totally* noob question ?

I have an Eton (grundig) E100 shortwave receiver.

Should that 14.325 MHz USB frequency translate to 14325 KHz on my receiver's dial ?
Or is sideband a completely different animal ?
Have done a bit of digging on wiki w/o clarification.

I've tuned and set 14325 KHz into memory, but so far only static, tho according to the HWN link you posted, it won't be active til tomorrow (Sat) at 0630.

thanks

Perhaps need a little receiver like the Degen 1103 with SSB. You might hear garbled voice tomorrow without sideband.

To receive USB the radio must be capable of SSB single sideband or CW code reception. Sometimes called BFO beat frequency oscillator must be on to understand sideband only signals. Onec this mode is enabled, you may have to retune the frequency to make the audio intelligible.

You would set the dial to 14.325 MHz and the mode to upper side band (USB). If you cruise around 75 meters (3.900 MHz give or take) lower side band you might find your state emergency net. 75 meters is better for local/regional coverage whereas 20 meters is more long haul.
