You might be surprised as to how far away a station can be that causes problems. Back in the '70s I had a station on 600 kHz 80 miles away that modulated our repeater as soon as it was keyed. We verified the station programming with a BC Band receiver tuned to 600 kHz to be the same audio mixed with our repeater output. In our case, the guy wires to the tower were not insulated, and the tower was rusty. Perfect oxide rectifier and antenna for the BC station. A heavy fog made it much worse, but that only happened a few days a year, so we just ignored it.

Right now, 1330 WRCA and 1600 WUNR are operating from that site, and nobody seems to know for sure what configuration they're in, other than it's not the final one. Eventually 1200 WKOX will be there as well. 73 Jeff N1ZZN
