on this freq. I'm east of Pittsburgh, and they weren't

that strong here, but, it's wide open right now for

DXERs in their area.

Bummer. You're in the skip zone, they normally have a good signal on the
East Coast.

wonder what the guys on 700, out of Cinci, think about that?

Monitoring 1170 with the Perseus. Looks like there is an IBOC sideband
from 1165 to 1170. Checked - it is WHAM-HD on 1180 covering 1165-1195
in Rochester, NY. So if you hear digital hash on 1170 thats where its
coming from.

Sure can here the hash here! What I hear in sporadic checks is a station playing oldies. Haven't spent much
time with it.

IBOC sucks.

The oldies station is WFDL, Waupun, WI. Operating with 1000 watts daytime and a PSRA of 9 watts. I think I may
have heard them with the 9 watts.

Have to do further checking and maybe send 'em a report. Not that terribly far away, but still interesting at
that power.

If you copied them at 9 watts it's worth sending a report because with all
of the IBOC hash and interference copying such a station would be a
challange, even if fairly close.
