It is definitely a BC station parasitic, and it is strong but appears 
to be at least a few hundred miles from me because directivity is 
very good on both verticals and beverages.

As near as I can tell it is between 330 and 345 degrees true from my 
location. I'm about 30 miles north of Macon just west of I-75.

>From my place that would inside a line running approximately NNW east 
of Nashville and Minneapolis and west of Chicago.

If anyone else can give a direction, e-mail me and maybe we can find 
them. I have always  been able to get an audio match between the 
spurious and a BC station in the BC band, but that can several take 
hours without eliminating possible choices.73, Tom W8JI
