With one (WRFD 880 Columbus, spurious signal on 760) I couldn't get past

the station manager. She said they check the frequency regularly and I was
probably hearing a harmonic. The women are the worst. (Curious fact, 2 x
WOSU 820 - 880 = 760)

Sexist comments aside, how do you know she wasn't telling the truth? How do
you know the intermod product you describe isn't being generated in your
radio?


Passive MW loop peaked at 760; all radios tried were the same.

Actual CE's, if you can get to them, are helpful and anxious to fix things,
in my experience. The blockades are not a good idea.


Spurs that are 455 KHz off the main signal are almost always the result
of image issues in the receiver. But 120 KHz below is a funny place for a spur
to be, either due to transmitter _or_ receiver problems. That's an
interesting enough one that I'd want to investigate it just from curosity
if I were the engineer.

If the GM is not helpful, a letter to the FCC sometimes is. Not a phone
call, a letter.
