  Sheldon Harvey on the NRC listserver first noticed it Sunday evening.  It is indeed CJWI testing.  The French should stick out like a sore thumb on 1410, if only its signal could make it past Dayton and LaCrosse to get all the way here.    73, Rick Dau South Omaha, Nebraska

Oh, sure. Let's increase powers and put more stations on at night. That doesn't really address the interference problem at all. What's needed is more enforcement of existing regs. For instance, the power supply which is used to maintain charge on the battery backup for my fiberoptic ( FIOS )

There's no question that there are relevant AM stations - probably a good many of them. But the question isn't on an individual station level. The question is whether AM - as it is currently in the broadest sense is, given declining audiences and for most people under about 35 the overall only

For a French-speaking station, that's what they should do. Meanwhile, I'll give them a try around sunrise, just for grins. The prior stations in metro Montreal on 1410 were all quite difficult to hear at any distance from the border. Russ Edmunds 15 mi NNW of Philadelphia Grid FN20id

I don't think my kids listen to radio much and they're in their 30's. I only listen when I'm in the car or DXing. I know some people can listen at work but at a previous employer everyone played FM for music in the background. You can't work and listen to talk radio or you will get nothing done.
