I've been hearing this in Davenport, Iowa for over a month now,
although I've only noticed it in the mornings (after 1200 UTC).
Actually, I'm getting it on two frequencies - around 1613 or so and
around 1638 or so. I find it best using FM mode (which the Drake R-8
has). There is a FM station in Rolla on 97.5 with a call that is
similar to the K-Day slogan. (I don't have my M-Street Journal here
to check). They have a sister AM station on 1580 or so. Again, I
can't remember off hand. This appears to be some kind of mixing
problem between the AM & FM. In the morning it is quite obnoxious and
really splatters over just about everything from 1600 - 1655 kHz. I
haven't noted it in the evening, but I haven't tuned in to that range
before 0200 for a few weeks. Seems to me the AM outlet is a daytime
station. Anyway, it is NOT a pirate. Just a screwed up legal station.
