I've just picked up CRI on 27.515mhz. I didn't think that broadcast stations went up that far in the HF spectrum.

It's just your receiver.

Harmonics? I've had them off old cordless telephone bases before but not transmitters hundreds or thousands of miles away. As far as I know.

Your probably receiving a 1st order harmonic. CRI broadcasts on 13.760 Mhz. Double that equals 27.52 Mhz

Ah, thanks. You'd have thought they'd have sorted out their spurious emissions by now, harumph!

Now which is it likely to be? A transmitting station worth half a million or your receiver? Takes some thinking abt does that one...
