I was going to say "well, he was listening at 5:30am - and if he was
west of Thunder Bay then he'd have been on Central Time". The numbers
still don't work out for most stations:

Station October "FCC sunrise"
WABC 0500 CST
WCCO 0630 CST
WLW 0645 CST
WHAM 0530 CST
KFAB 0630 CST

(that WLW figure doesn't make sense, I think I made a typo somewhere.
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.

I was in the Eastern Time zone. 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.
