<snip> Has anyone else in the Chicago area noticed the digital signal on both sides of WIND 560?  If that is the kind of interference that broadband is going to make uh oh!!!!  Dan <snip>   Dan,  I am located in Chicago's South suburbs about 15 miles due West from WIND's transmitter/towers located in Northwest Indiana.    I have listened � 3000 Hz from their center frequency with a 300 Hz bandwidth filter in CW mode and cannot hear anything but their normal modulation.  I also listened � 10 kHz with a 2.3 kHz filter with the same results.  The antenna is a K9AY and WIND's signal level was in the neighborhood of 40 over S9.  I re-ran the tests with the K9AY pointed away from WIND and with an additional 20 dB attenuation in the feedline with the same results.    From my perspective, WIND is clean, and there were no other signals heard � 10 kHz from their carrier.   Due to the large number of 50 KW AMBCB signals in the Chicagoland area, I suggest you try some attenuation and/or a directional antenna so to eliminate Rx overload as a possible explanation.    If you want to pursue this further, let me know.   Joe, K9HDE   PS  From what I understand the lowest frequency broadband will use is 1.7 mHz.
