Don and George (K2MYR), thanks for the correction. In all honesty, I
had no idea what the band limits were on the AM BC band. I thought the
top might be in the 1600s somewhere. I looked it up on the web, and it
gave me 520 to 1610 KHz. Obviously, that was old information.
Nevertheless, t
May I suggest that those who had their BCB problem
reduced or eliminated by the engineering staff at
the various stations do one thing. Send the station
a letter thanking the management and staff for their
fast action to correct the problem.
This results in several good things:

MW stations have been legally broadcasting in the so called X band from
1610 to 1710 since about 1997.

I received a Email from WDOR stating the engineer had found a defective
capacitor and it had been corrected. This morning the BCB on 1820 was
considerably less than the last few days, but we will see what happens. Larry

This could be reduced ~30 dB by a shorted 1/4 wave stub on the TX
output...~178.5' of 0.66 Vf coax and one T-connector.

At this point, I'm convinced that the source of the problem
is the 24 hour station and that the WPIN and WGFC signals are getting
mixed somehow to produce the AM signal on 1840.

There have been some interesting developments and observations
regarding my noise problem on 1836 that I had mentioned in a previous
message. (See below.)
First of all, I'd like to thank those folks who responded to my post
with some excellent suggestions.
I started to search in earnest for
Of course Roger has an advantage ... he can complain to Industry Canada
(Canadian equivalent of the FCC) about the interference and ask them to
make an international complaint to the FCC.
Nothing will move the FCC more quickly and an international complaint!
They still take international interfer
