Yes, the interference happens on all radios at all locations within 20
miles of the TX. I first heard it in my hamshack but then thought I
might of had too much sensitivity and antenna there (Harris HF
receiver, also IC-736) so I tried it in the car and sure enough it's
bad in the car too. It's also bad in my office several miles away on a
boom box.
I don't think they are broadcasting digital.
They have two towers and go directional at night. Just so happens in
my direction the nighttime signal is about the same (swell).
This all happened right about the time they got the new transmitter.
The engineer even offered me the old one.
Hi Tom,
I gather this is KVOL in Lafayette. The FCC doesn't offer any
particulars about their rig, just antennas. In that regard, they may
have a bad joint in one tower that is heterodyning with another
signal.
