Hi Bob, Do you recall when you -- or anyone else -- first noticed the WKDM/WWRU spurious emissions on 1940 kHz?
The FCC rule regarding emissions more then 75 kHz from an AM broadcasters assigned frequency is contained in Code of Federal Regulations Title 47 Chapter I Subchapter C Part 73 Subpart A § 73.44 AM transmission system emission limitations (b) Emissions removed by more than 75 kHz must be attenuated at least 43 + 10 Log (Power in watts) or 80 dB below the unmodulated carrier level, whichever is the lesser attenuation. Its absolutely certain that the WKDM/WWRU emissions being heard hundreds of miles away in the U.S. and Canada on 1940 kHz greatly exceed 100 milliwatts (80dB below 10 kilowatts). Do you think you can find someone with access to spectrum analyzer who can measure the intermod signal strength relative to the WKDM and WWRU transmitted signal strengths? That measurement can probably be done at your QTH since the 1940 kHz emission is so strong there. Maybe your Flex radio can do the measurement? The next step is for someone affected by the 1940 kHz spurious emission to contact the WKDM/WWRU station managers, not the FCC. 73 Frank W3LPL On Mon, Jan 9, 2023 at 5:46 PM Bob Kozlarek WA2SQQ <wa2...@gmail.com> wrote: > So that’s where it comes from!
