If you have an HD receiver maybe you could test your reception

I have a local on 610.


Is it one of those fat HD stations,
or don't you have enough selectivity
to resolve something ten kcs away?

With KOGO running its IBOC 24/7,
I'd never be able to hear it.

I have 50 kW KGO 810 about 5 miles away, grounded in the same SF Bay
mud as my own ground.

It almost pins my S-meter at minimum 40-over even attenuated, and it
takes a massive effort to hear anything 10 kHz away from it; my
MFJ-1026 works totally overtime to crush the signal even when I use
USB/LSB on narrow and passband. Even worse is another 50 kW blowtorch
just 1.5 miles away on 1100 - yecch! Not only that, but its harmonics
are potent on 2200 and 3300 (farewell, R. Cultural, Guatemala). I
wonder if the 1026 can wipe that 3300 harmonic...

East Palo Alto? Fremont? KGO looks cool on Google.
