[IRCA] Alberta TPs for 8 Feb 2016

VOA on 1575 stood out again today, with a good solid signal from 1430 tune in to 1450 when it started downward. Korea on 1566 managed some marginal audio around 1440, but today it was Taiwan (presumed) on 1557 that took second place. Heard EZL type vocals there from 1435 to 1450. 1593 never

Friday night I logged WAYS with CBS Sports Radio and WDCP s/off, although their programming did continue(CH?). The noise never reached a level I could DF. Saturday night and last night produced some better results. Several times the noise reached a level on my PL-390 that allowed me to get a

Re: [IRCA] 1500 Mystery Station

This noise appears in both the upper sideband and lower sideband of 1500, meaning it's not likely this is being generated from a station above or below 1500. From careful frequency measurements tonight under the Perseus microscope, the mystery station's offset appears to be 1500.007 kHz - maybe

But WPOT is just a scant 250 watts, and that was one of the stations I was referring to when I typed "...nothing in IN/KY/TN on 1500...is really powerful enough to be heard in the far-flung reaches where it's being reported." WBRI at 5 kw and WDEB at 1 kw would be much more logical

WLAC 1510 was suggested as a potential culprit but that doesn’t jive with bearings. Also, WLAC likely still has a full-time engineering staff, and state of the art monitoring of their on-air signal. I have serious doubts that any such problem could exist for months undetected by their staff.
