I should add that KVOI runs a directional antenna with the (crazy) pattern peak
pointed in my direction. Why escapes me, as there is no one to service in my
direction.

Ralph,
KVOI is -7 dBm here on my 40-meter dipole. On the 160 antenna it's about 3 dB
higher but that's folded over for the lightning season, Despite running 7 dB
more power and not being a much different distance KUAZ is about 13 dB
weaker. I guess that's why the commercial owner gave it to the U of A, took a
tax write off and lets the taxpayers fund it. KFLF, (50 KW) further away
still is -6 dBm.
My SDR-IQs handle this just fine. I briefly owned an RSP-2 Pro that folded up
like a cheap suitcase and was unusable on any frequency and it supposedly has
a BCB filter. I suspect that the K4 will be unfazed.

Greetings
I live between 2 AM Broadcast stations. First Station KVOI 1030 AM @ 10
KW day, 1kw night 2 miles south.
Second StationKUAT 1550 AM @ 50KW day time only. No night time power 2
miles north.
My question is how well will the K4 perform in this environment The only
problem with the K 3 is caused
by rusty fences etc radiating a mix between stations. Day time 75 -80 not
usable some of the time.
This is not a overload problem, just spurs.
