Bill,
You have Tigard no doubt. They get out up and down the coast quite well even
with only 200 watts. Similar station is the Woodburn one on 940. I seem to
have them behind Fresno all the time
even tho most everyone else hears Baja.

In fact he would mention that he heard a station and then I would tune to the

Hi all, I was listening on 1580, and heard a 1000 hertz tone behind
dominant k b l a, in Santa Monica, and about ten minutes after 1 this
morning, California time, the tone stopped, and radio disney came on,
but I noticed the fidelity wasn't as good, but couldn't hear any side
iboc hash on either
Hi all, it looks like it's definite, just moments ago, I turned off my
g e radio super 2 on 1580, and there was an open carrier, and on the
1570 side, I did hear iboc hash, so it looks as though k m i k has
gone, or is testing their iboc.

rather than the TPs I was getting yesterday. None made it to audio,
with 702 getting close. The big TP signals on 594,693,774 that were

let us know what's up, because from here in Oakland,

KMIK 1580 is now IBOC, and decoded on a Sangean HDR-1 IBOC receiver.
The sound quality is HORRIBLE on KMIK as it is incredibly compressed
and the highs are shrilly.
Good
Plenty of action here in Victoria. I didn't have time to count but lots of

the results were good earlier. Off to work!Walt

KNIX was between KTUF and KCWW. At
I seem to recall KNIX(AM) being in AM stereo then, too.
Can't speak to KNIX but I can tell you that KCWW was Motorola's

and show them the transmitter. About two weeks after KCWW was LMAed
to Disney, the stereo was cut
Can't provide the dates and timing sequence of the call usages, but I
heard it all 3 ways from North Jersey in the early-mid 1970's. KTUF

dated for that.
I heard KTUF as a kid in Dallas. I moved to AZ in 1994 and heard it

Per my KNIX 1980 QSL, 1980, they advertised they were FM Stereo 102,

Kevin,
My experience with KEX 1190 with their IBOC hash on 1180 1200, I have
to phase their daytime signal down to below S9 to knock the IBOC hash to
a low level to hear 1180 1200 generally. So if the IBOC station is S9
or more, the hash is quite strong. KCVR 1570 Lodi CA at 600 miles away.
Dennis,
Good going on KNPT. The coastal stations are not reported all that often
off the coast.

I finally understand what all that noise is on both sides of WSAI.
They must be IBOCing! Have been doing it for more than two years now.
Makes me wonder if IBOC degrades analog signals or effects normal analog
power output. Until the noise started, WSAI was unassailable on 1530
