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.

I would close the deal on the TX before I called the FCC.

I'm getting lots of noise from a local broadcaster and am looking for
assistance in stopping the problem. Their freq is 1330 KHz, 5KW.
They are putting out a wideband garbled signal several channels wide
centered at 1120 KHz. There is a similar wideband hash up higher
centered at around 1490 or so, and God only knows where else. When
they play Dr. Laura on 1330, I can hear a garbled Dr. Laura all over
the band. I am about 3 miles from the station but yesterday I was
driving and could hear the trash 20 miles out on 1120. I've driven
down I-10 in both directions from the station and their noise reaches
out at least 20 miles. The station's response is that other stations
also carry Dr. Laura. Please . . . . not on a dozen channels in a
row with your station ID!

I've talked to the station manager several times and the engineer a
couple of times and even though they will talk to me and are friendly
folks, they have not fixed it. They got a new transmitter last fall
and this is when it started. I've been listening here for about 30
years and this is a new problem.

I'm going to talk with the engineer one more time and then plan to
write the FCC. If anyone has advice, please advise.

Thanks

Are they broadcasting digital AM?
