Hi,

New (used) RX here, displaying up to 0,01 kHz. A bit off (don't know if a better calibration is possible, but offset well known now), and not always easy to find the nearest 0,01 on weak signals. (Also many stations drifting a bit). So I will round the frequencies to the nearest 0,1 kHz and sometimes to the nearest 0,05 multiple.

Quiet week days on SW, but not so quiet (see the green lines...). Two funny stations:
-R. Tipperary, playing only "It's a long way to Tipperrary"
-R. Southsea Melody, playing only tiki music
