Re: [IRCA] Grayland Report
Thanks John
That puts my mind at ease. It's nice to know I wasn't imagining things,
especially with my current level of sleep deprivation. Now if I could
only figure out which Chinese station I had. It wasn't relaying CNR1
but beyond that it could be anybody, and the audio was pretty weak. It
did have a bit of an echo at times from a second co-channel transmitter,
which might narrow it down a bit.

Bruce,
They (CKMO) were truly running OC during at least parts of this
morning at dawn.... I'm 20 miles from the station, as you know, and it
was just a clean vertical spike on my scope.

Well, guess what folks. What I thought was an S9+10db open carrier
from CKMO was actually IBOC hash from KBBI-890. It became readily
obvious once I looked at the SDR display, and a visit to KBBI's
website confirmed they're now broadcasting in HD! Yeesh. Which
still doesn't explain what happened to CKMO, unless they were the one
with a woman droning on in Chinese at 1225 UT, sometimes with echo
and sometimes without..... which doesn't seem to match CKMO's
program schedule. So maybe they were being overpowered by a Chinese
station, which in turn was being overpowered by IBOC from KBBI.
