Monitoring 1170 with the Perseus. Looks like there is an IBOC sideband
from 1165 to 1170. Checked - it is WHAM-HD on 1180 covering 1165-1195
in Rochester, NY. So if you hear digital hash on 1170 thats where its
coming from.

Jim, your prob right. that digital hash seems to be everywhere. as
posted, they seem to be back on 1.170. this is a little trick i
learned from Steve; when the big storms come through, see who's
off the air. (like a little DX window opening). and keep an eye on
the old DX-test.info web site. been awhile with no up dates there.
but, some times you get lucky.

Drifter...


Thanks for the tips. What I do is stay away from the sqare waves. The
nice thing about having some sort of bandscope is that you can see the
sidebands of those IBOC stations and I will try to steer clear of
these. The bad thing is there are more of these stations staying on at
night.

Is WWVA back on? I did not see a post. It did appear there was a dead
carrier on 1170 just before sunset local time (before the hash got
strong).
