Default ssb question for you experts

....
One thing that threw me off was the time at which the wefax single was
broadcast. Some of the broadcast times listed online were not correct. ...


Also the schedule will show center frequencies. Set your radio to SSB
mode and search for the signal around 1.7 kHz down the dial. My
experience with my small radio is that the built in antenna is not
very useful. A cheap dipole that you can run up the rig might be an
easy and worthwhile upgrade (try http://www.hamradio.com/ for a
start).
