Re: [IRCA] AM Broadcasters affected by RFI Issues

Walt,

Just because a person lives in a rural area doesn't mean the location is noise free. Like here on the Northern Oregon Coast, I never used to have noise, but i do now. I am hoping a Ham operator moving in this coming Spring, that monitors 500 khz, we can find where it is coming from.  I have a friend who lives in rural Coos County that cannot listen to the AM band in most areas he drives. Happy New Year to all.
