It sounded like they were on with high power, but low modulation. I
guess the IBOC hash gets out as well even with the modulation is low.

What amazes me is just how strong their IBOC was compared to their
modulation on 1380.
At times I could hear the carrier, but had trouble hearing what was being
said, due to low modulation and other signals on the frequency.
Yet the IBOC was pounding away loudly especially on 1370.

Thanks Rick. It looks like the power boost for 1380 has become a
reality unfortunately, plus more IBOC noise and 1390 has been a good
channel logging Maine & SC and few years back.

Thanks Bruce & Rick,
The signal is down now to S9+15, but it was "Very" strong for a while.
It looks like they are testing the new 50 KW, IBOC and all. The earlier
signal was probably the 34 KW ND I would guess, maybe 50 KW ND? It was
stronger than I get KIRO or KJR!!! Oh great, another IBOC

I checked on the SDR-IQ, and the display is showing IBOC hash on 1370
and 1390. The IBOC carriers are about about the right level to be
originating from them, and they change strength by the same amount as
KRKO when I switch antennas. Your suspicions appear to be correct, but
I'll
Hi Patrick,
I'm in northeast Seattle, and I certainly hear the IBOC hash, but KRKO's
modulation is very low.
Carrier sounds stronger than usual, though, and I know they were planning
on using IBOC.
Their signal isn't sensational here, but I can't imagine who else would be
doing IBOC on 1380.

Off the NE EWE, there is a "Very" strong carrier at S9+45-50 DB on 1380
and horrible IBOC hash on 1390. Cannot tell on 1370 as I have a local,
KAST. Anyone in the Puget Sound can check? Thanks.
