That is good. I will see what happens when I call them. I suspect they
will do nothing as there is probably no engineer on staff. A VE3 ham
told me that this station is notorious in that area!
Thanks again

Hi Dave,
I’m copying phone station again on 1830.0 KHz and tonight the audio is
good copy (not distorted tonight). Station advertisements are
Canadian and they did say they are on 610. Time once again is 10:30
EDT 0230 UTC, and I once again recorded it.

Hi Dave,
I’m hearing bursts of distorted audio right now on 1830.0 KHZ (it
comes and goes). Bursts peak about 10db over my noise floor.
I’m hearing it on my pennant pointing 40 degrees from near
Indianapolis (02:30UTC).

I turned on my 160 meter radio around 0100 UT on the 21st, and
was
greeted by a huge level of noise on 1830. It wasn't too long
before I
realized that I was listening to an AM BC station. Audio was
distorted,
but I could copy the ads and they all referred to Buffalo and St.
Catherines, Canada. They finally identified as CKTB AM 610,
so I was
hearing the third harmonic and it was over S9 on my west and NW
beverages! It also was cutting in and out, no doubt from the
high winds
near Toronto.
I tuned it in on my BC band aircraft receiver and the main
signal on
610 kHz was loud, but being interfered with by other stations
on that
frequency. It was not a bodacious signal by any means, so I do
not
suspect a problem in my back yard. There are plenty of louder
stations
that I did not hear. Being a third harmonic, the signal was
wide at 1830
and quite distorted. It covered 20 to 30 kHz of bandwidth. I
e mailed
the station but have heard nothing back. I tried calling but
the offices
were closed when I called last night. Did anyone else hear this?
