Probably 0545 or 0600.) So it would have been "daytime" at WABC & WHAM but not at any of the other stations. I am making the rash assumption the unnamed station on 1110 was KFAB -- maybe it was WBT? (which probably would have indeed been in "daytime") We do occasionally observe major stations running IBOC at night. It must be some kind of FCC-sanctioned test as it happens far too often to be explained as technical errors at some of the country's best-engineered stations. Usually that doesn't happen at this many stations at the same time though. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

It might have been a test as I have never noticed this interference before. I thought it might have some connection to the switch from Daylight saving time. All the am stations you hear in Sault Ste Marie are from the US side although they tend to be buried by skip. I remember passing through Iron Bridge one day years ago when it was an am station. They had an antenna strung between two telephone poles and a kid was doing a remote at the Dairy Queen from a volkswagon bus using an old Garrard record changer. A real operation bootstrap. I gave them and A++ for effort. Now that it is a French staion, I noticed that they have a proper tower on a hill above the town but the local charm is gone. One thing is for su those so-called weak little IBOC sidebands completely covered the adjacent stations. |

I know WHA on 970 KHz runs IBOC up to an hour after sunset and starts up
about an hour before sunrise. I had read somewhere that this is authorized for stations under certain circumstances which I do not recall.
