Hi Dave,monitoring KFI right now 1851 on friday 5.
I am in Oxnard and KFI has a very heavy fade, very unusal for the
station at anytime.
I was not aware the they turned on the new tourch.

I always used the sync detector or SSB ECSS to listen to it, so the
fading was much less an issue. Since you have to get both sidebands to
cancel out the IBOC, I can't use sync detection, because my SW2, just
like a Sony 2010, can only sync to one sideband at a time.

Luckily, KKOH 780 comes in great at night, and they don't have IBOC.
Same for KGO 810.
