| Dear fellow DX-ers, This is not top-DX but a simple 
question that bothered me for a while : With a certain regularity I can 
receive Vatican Radio on 527 kHz. At my QTH, reception is often spoilt by 
splashes from Switzerland on nearby 531. Trying to get a clearer signal by 
listening in LSB mode, I have noticed that the LSB signal is apparently absent 
(or considerably reduced). USB is OK. Does someone know if indeed Vatican Radio 
transmits in a carrier + USB mode on this frequency ? If so, why ? (it seems 
more logical to take a carrier + LSB mode to avoid interference from 
531). Regards, Aart Rouw Bühl, Germany AR7030 + 15m
