I guess the "some don't believe" refers to me, since I didn't see
anyone else chime in on this topic. For the record, I didn't say
that you can't tell what direction a station is coming from, I simply
stated that there are limitations that you must keep in mind. There
are other technically inclined folks on this list who could expound
on this in a calm and rational manner, but they haven't spoken up -
apparently it's a touchy subject. Oh well.

I tried last night, but it was no go. IBOC jammers WTIC and WTAM were
laying waste to 1090 from both sides, big time. It was difficult
even to get intelligible audio from WBAL - I could tell there was
something under them, but it was washed out by hiss. You folks
further west get less signal from both WBAL and WTIC, so you have a
better chance to dig a little deeper on 1090. If it's only on after
midnight, maybe nobody else has been up late enough!
