7258000 Hertz
One of KI6KY's favorite daytime radio frequencies
Thanks to the late Senator Barry Goldwater K7UGA (a true conservative), Public Law 97-259 exempted Amateur Radio in the U.S. from the secrecy provisions in the Communications
Act.
One of my favorite daytime amateur radio hang-outs here on the West coast
during the daytime is 7258 khz. I enjoy it because of the many
interesting and somewhat eccentric characters heard there. Some of the past "greats" are now
conspicuous by their absence and the mix of stations continues to wax and wane over the years.

DIPPETY DOO DAH DIPPETY DAY!!
Hello, John.
I recently ordered an AM filter from you and am thrilled at the results.
I wanted to write to say thank you!
My house is located 0.36 miles from an AM radio station that broadcasts
with a four-antenna array at 50kW (daytime) at 990kHz. I thought I would
escape the problem that others in the neighbor hood have with RF
interference by using a Voice over IP system instead of a traditional
landline from the phone company. In theory that was a good idea, but in
practice the VoIP interface box (Cisco ATA 186) is very susceptible to
RF. With one phone directly hooked into the ATA, everything was OK, but
as soon as I hooked the ATA to my house's phone wiring, the AM station
came through loud and clear even if no phones were hooked to any of the
extensions. It was apparent that the house wiring was acting as an
antenna and that the ATA was rectifying the signal. The small filters
the radio station provided had no effect, and I was very frustrated.
I was tempted to replace the house's 27-year-old phone wire with
expensive shielded twisted pair. I also contemplated buying an
expandable wireless phone system for about $250 that would have replaced
my hard-wired phones with mobile extensions. Neither of those options
were particularly attractive.
I am very glad I found your Web site using Google. Your AM-1 filter did
the trick. After I plugged it in, I couldn't believe how crystal clear
the phone became. It was certainly the best $28 I've ever spent on
telephone equipment.
Very truly yours,
S.S. Pennsylvania, USA
