WBZ IBOC was legally on until 5 PM CST the last couple of years and
hammered
KDKA here in IL from about 3:30 PM(earlier in Dec) CST to 5 PM (IBOC shut
off) during Nov to early Feb.
I think once more people get a handle on just what that noise is they're
hearing, the complaints will increase a
WBZ has been asked to lower their IBOC power I was told and they have
refused. I have no idea if there is truth to that or not as I heard it
second hand. The courts may be looking into this sooner than we think!

It was a mediocre TP morning here, with the high band being
especially weak. Still, most of the JJ, KK and CC regulars were
there just at somewhat lower levels. The items of interest:

Amazing audio peaks several times last night between 0300 and 0430 from
France-Info on both 1377 (Lille) and 1557 (Nice). S9 at times. 1557 was new
for me.
Also, earlier in the evening 'round 0230-0300, first time audio from RNE-585

Overall a pretty darn good morning to Asia with the CC and to lesser extent KK
and JJ dominant across the entire band. Plenty of audio, but again, most at
only 6 to 7 level. Nothing new, I think, but lot's of fun to listen to. Got

Somehow I wonder if this is true. flat out refusing to lower IBOC
power when they are itnerfering with a station is just stupid, but then
again WBZ has a huge signal.. and someones problem complaining about a
station outside their coverage area.
Who asked WBZ to lower their IBOC power?
Yup, that promo was for WCBM. Im pretty sure they are co-owned. i think 1370
calls themselves V-1370?

Paul,
I heard this second hand from an engineer I know, that I do not want to
mention their name. I think it is in regard to the QRM to the upstate NY
station on 1040. But I have not heard it directly. So that is why I
stated it as I did. There might be some valid points that I know nothing

John,
Good going on your Alaskans. KSKO 870 was a toughie for me and even more
of a toughie in getting that QSL. It took seeral phone calls and follow
ups. I finally did get a nice veie letter. CHTK is nearly always
u/KSFO/KPQ here most nights. Sometimes on top. 760-Burns Lake
870-Smithers are
I think when claiming something like WBZ refused.. you need to have more
proof then second hand information.

Listened from 1218-1425 ut. 5 Russian long-waves in this morning and
279 was around after sunrise, usually gone way before sunrise. Japanese power
house stations in late this morning. It was 1351 before audio was heard on JOUB
774. Conditions here down from previous mornings.

Greetings,
I fairly good morning, but a slow start. Things did not get going until
after 1400, but the JJs were everywhere. So I decided to take the time
this AM to sit on 1260 1350. I got rewards in both cases, but 1350 was
the real winner with armchair copy of JOER Hiroshima. Totally topping
Interesting. I turned the Drake on about 1330 UTC this morning and found very
little of anything. 774 wasn't even there. It was raining here at the time.
Went back to bed quickly.

Congratulations! I amazed at your report. Those signals crossed a huge
heap of dirt and U.S. MW broadcast towers to find your loop in N. AL.

Great question Craig. Around Detroit, some of the FM
stations are often audible on their second adjacent
channels. So why do they need 800 kHz of audio
bandwidth, to begin with???
Next question, how can a 100 watt FM station cause
harmful interference against a 100KW station from two
or three

How can you tell if a question is rhetorical? Wait... Was that??
What, exactly, makes anyone think
that since typical HD radios cannot receive HD signals at similar
distances to analog without external antennas, the reception will

My next one to try for may be even tougher, KNSA 930, Unalaleeet, AK.
They run a whopping 2.5 KW on 930 khz. 930 is not a clear channel as 680
is and KNSA does not have the power. But with a good Northerly opening
maybe...

That is why I stated it as I did. I did say it is second hand

I am waiting for tomorrow morning so I can get a decent log (hopefully)

JOER is better. Maybe a better tx site?

If IBOC does become the law of the land, I will either go back to Short
Wave or move elsewhere. But I am not betting on IBOC becoming much more
than a fleeting noisemaker

I did indeed hear KNSA when KTKN had problems with its satellite feed,
but only IDed it by paralleling with KDLG-670 (KNSA KIAL-1450 KSDP-830
relay KDLG at night). That was a lucky break, to be sure.
Here in the lower 48 KNSA would be even tougher, thanks to all the
domestic QRM.
Walt,
For some reason, I am no longer hearing KTKN as often as I was even last
year. CJCA is my problem child on 930. This morning my big problem on
1260 was CFRN in trying to get JOIR well. There is nothing to the North
on 1350, so JOER was easier. the Edmonton stations can be issies here.

In the past years, KTKN was dominant most nights to the North, but I

poor/weak level, followed by 189 poor/weak. 1134 poor at 0251 utc. Around

to medium level for short periods), 198, 216, 225 had audio. 1215 with brief

I've heard KIFW-1230 at Grayland several times now, but you obviously
have a co-channel local to deal with. Walt is right about KTKN and KIFW
sort of being parallel, but I think it's just the same satellite feed.
I think the two stations are owned by the same company.
I heard KVAK
