Default Getting local AM station engineering aware of harmonic problems

I concentrate on finding out who the chief engineer is and contacting him.

Find other stations the company owns, and look for the chief engineer of
any of those, and contact them asking who the CE is of your station.

Sooner or later you can find out a name, and it's possible the CE is
in fact interested.

There's an enormous chain of management that does not care, however, so
usually you can't get anywhere through obvious channels.

Getting the FCC interested is very hard.

WRFD 880 in Columbus OH has been radiating on WJR 760 Detroit MI for years
and I haven't gotten anywhere yet, so it doesn't always work. WRFD is
authorized by God so they don't care. (2*820-880=760 ; 820 is another
local station, an odd fact that would interest a genuine engineer.)
