  • The title of broadcast music was : Life In A Northern Town , of Sugarland group.

    I think too it's an halfwave harmonic.

  • that song was an 80s track by "The Dream Academy"

    

  • The 48/49 mhz range used to be used for link between studio and transmitter here some time ago, they moved to UHF in the UK, but I think that's what you have. Alternatively, it could just be an 'image', whereby the signal you're getting is a product of the FM station frequency minus the rig's intermediate frequency. E.G, if the rig's first IF stage were 60mhz, a very strong station on 108.5 would appear at 48.5 (48.5+60=108.5). I like the 'halfwave harmonic' idea below. They're new to me. :)

  • Local signals are normally Vertically polarized. A wire is Horizontal. Also, the antenna needs to be resonant for best performance. Note, if a transmitter is not matched to a proper antenna, transmitting will damage the transmitter. (This does not apply to receiving)

    The signal here is at an interesting frequency. My guess by its content is a syndicated radio satellite feed. Researching it now.

  • not at 48.5, should be around 49.85 range

  • Nice RX.

  • It's the halfwave harmonic of FM 97.00

    1/2 of 97=48.500

  • probably intermod if its an FM station's content on a bizarre frequency

  • You have picked up a baby monitor. Can't see if you are in FM RX or AM RX.

  • That is AFN "The Eagle" playing American country countdown with Kix Brooks.
