To be able to receive at 500kHz I had to kill the 500kHz QRM source. Yesterday I used my modified to 475-500kHz "RANEX" pocket radio to search the the noise at 500kHz. That QRM was covering 500kHz for more than a week. Constantly 50kHz wide and stable in frequency. This time I searched at neighbours home but nothing found. This MW receiver is a great noise sniffler. There are lot's of noise sources in a home to be found. I found an new one a CD player in standby mode. Back at the radio the 500kH noise was gone suddenly.. I switched the CD player back on but that was not it. Nothing found but QRM was gone. Then replaced the 1:9 transformer back to the original in the K9AY rx antenna loop. This one has a small core with high AL. I tested a transformer with low Al not trifilar but "normal" wound 1:9 In the hope getting better result but it was no improvement. The K9AY does not work at 137kHz it starts to work at 500kHz the signa
