ADF OPERATION NOTES:
ERRONEOUS ADF BEARING DUE TO RADIO FREQUENCY
PHENOMENA:
In the U.S., the FCC, which assigns AM radio frequencies, occasionally
will assign the same frequency to more than one station in an area.
Certain conditions, such as Night Effect, may cause signals from such
stations to overlap. This should be taken into consideration when using
AM broadcast stations for navigation.
Sunspots and atmospheric phenomena may occasionally distort
reception so that signals from two stations on the same frequency will
overlap. For this reason, it is always wise to make positive identification
of the station being tuned, by switching the function selector to ANT
and listening for station call letters.
In the vicinity of electrical storms, an ADF indicator pointer tends to
swing from the station tuned toward the center of the storm.
