Isn't the mega-talker in Sacramento that runs/(used to run?) HD-Radio on
1530 or 1540? *Having 50kw in their digital sideband would sure screw
that up.

KFBK has a 2 tower Franklin antenna, 50KW on 1530
That's the one. *They seem to have quit running HD at night.
Back when all that mess was starting, they were one of the only
two or three HD signals I could hear, here in Seattle.

KFBK on 1530 kHz was running HD Buzz at
least until 2 AM last night; and KFI on
640 kHz seems to be running the HD Buzz
all night long : As heard here in Twain

OK, I finally heard 1520 (K)KXA early this morning. *My guess is that it
must be 25-30 miles to the North, but it was down in the mud and KFBK
1530 Sacramento and KGA 1510 Spokane were louder. *KFBK's HD sidebands
were there, but not as audible as I remember from a few years ago.
That was on my Grundig FR-200. *Nothing on my R-1000.
Gee, it helps if I have something hooked up to my Kenwood's Medium Wave
antenna input. *The thing is damn deaf on Medium Wave but it shouldn't
have been that bad. *(I live about 5 miles from KOMO-1000, and most of
the other high power stations on Vashon/Maury Island, (710, 880, 1090*,
570) so it's a "don't bother unless you like intermod" situation most
of the time).
*(No Wolfman Jack in my neighborhood).
Hooking up the random wire, 1520 is still not a very clear or strong
signal, S6. *KRKO-1380 (co-located?) is S7 and a pretty good signal.
KOMO is S9+35 dB, (which I think is maxed out).
I believe you now, Roy. *I wasn't sure. *;-)
