Default WTWP (WTOP) 1500 AM-HD clobbers 1520 AM WRTI's protected contour !

WTRI is close enough to Washington that the FCC should have thought
twice about putting a station 20 kHz away from a 50 kw powerhouse like
WTWP even if it is daytime only. Still, it isn't an adjacent channel
and I don't think it should be a problem with a receiver with decent
selectivity.

WTRI runs 17 kw in the daytime but only 1400 watts in the "critical
hours" around sunrise and sunset. WTRI is northwest of Washington; Mr.
Harms appears to be just southwest of Baltimore. He is well within the
daytime range which includes both Baltimore and Washington but not
within the "critical hours" range.

I have tried this on three different receivers, including an expensive
digital in-dash radio, with the same results. I have received the
interference from within WTRI's protected contour, idiot ! The station
manager has gotten complaints from within his protected contour,
idiot !
