Topband: AM interference on 1840

[Mpridesti]

I have a local AM station here (about 3 km away) that operates on 930 kHz. Their second harmonic is 1860.  Seems they are operating within specification and abide by FCC regulations. But still the second harmonic wipes out any DX on or near that frequency. Signal strength is around S7. 

Regards,

Mark, K1RX
