This evening since 0030 UTC, I've been listening to K-day 97.5 FM from 
Rolla, Missouri on 1612 kHz. Id as Missouri's fastest growing radio 
station and local ads, pop music. Very strong signal.

At 0140 the signal shifted to 1615. Audible only in AM mode. Could not be 
zero-beat on either usb or lsb. In ssb, audio is a terrible hash. QRM is 
heavy enough to wipe out a Minnesota TIS on 1610 that is a regular here 
in the evenings.

This is either a pirate relay or a really lousy transmitter. More likely 
a pirate. K-day's legal id at 0100 was KMOG/KPAA 97.5.

Now I'm a long way from Missouri, so presumably, this should be audible 
throughout the U.S. midwest.
