I've heard the harmonic on 3150 for a few days now, but only
yesterday morning have I gotten a clear enough signal to identify
it. Turns out it is parallel to WEPN (ESPN Radio) from NYC, on
1050 kHz.
What is it with these NYC stations that makes harmonic suppression
hard? Are they sharing an antenna? Are they too close to each
other? Did they rip out any filters for IBOC?

While scanning the band, I ran into a weak AM signal on 10475.
Listening for a few minutes made it clear this was one of the
US religious broadcasters, however there were two audio streams
on 10475. Checking the frequencies of the various US religious
broadcasters solves the puzzle: 10475 is a mixing product of
13845 and 12160 kHz, with audio from the program on 15825 thrown
in. If there is another spur on 15530, it got covered up by
Radio France in Portuguese. Heard on August 10 2009 from 1648
UTC onward.

I had not heard LRA36 since I lived in Brazil, but after putting
up the 80 meter loop I can hear them again, in the north-eastern
USA. Fair reception of LRA36 on 15476 kHz on August 10 2009,
from 1800 UTC. Heard several clear LRA36 "desde a base Esperanza
na Antarctica Argentina" IDs around 1805. The signal started out
good and faded down over time, as sunset approaches the Antarctic
Peninsula.

The other day, while picking raspberries and blueberries in the woods
surrounding our house,
my wife and I were tuned to LRA36 on a portable Lextronix E5 receiver. "M?sica
and cultura" was on the
menu. Edmundo Rivero and Susana Rinaldi with tangos, followed by a few zambas
and a Yma Sumac-ish
rendering of "El c?ndor pasa". I was using the telescopic antenna only. Time of
reception: 1805-1910+
Reception was very poor at the outset but slowly improving, and approaching
fair level around 1900.
Temperature at the Esperanza base was given as 15 degrees below zero, which
equals 5 degrees F.
