[BC] Real cases of IBOC interference wanted for research purposes

[Bailey, Scott]

David,

I'm going to ask a dumb question, but what is a WinRadio?

Hi Doug and colleagues,

Last Thursday night (July 20) I made a MP3 recording of another local
IBOC
interference situation and posted the file here:

http://www.w9gr.com/KKOH-KCBC-IBOC.mp3

This recording was made in the few minutes spanning pattern change/power
change (8:30 PM PDT). The station is KKOH Reno on 780. The interferer is
KCBC Riverbank/Modesto on 770, running IBOC.

KKOH's field intensity at my location is calculated to be 3.27 mV/m.
KCBC's
field intensity should be 0.349 mV/m, but there is a significant amount
of
fading, which is audible on the recording as the IBOC noise fades up and
down. I'm 102.7 miles from KCBC (and on the back side of their pattern)
and
66.2 miles from KKOH.

The MP3 file is 4:47 long. IBOC ceases at 2:14 into the recording.
KKOH's
carrier drops for pattern change about a minute later, at 3:16 into the
recording.

The receiver was a WinRadio, using synchronous detection, at 11 kHz
bandwidth. The MP3 file sampling rate is 16 kHz.

Colleagues,

We are looking for real cases of reported IBOC interference to analyze
for
research purposes. Of particular interest is AM or FM IBOC interference
to
analog stations within the normally protected contour of the affected
station.  We're also interested in interference outside the protected
contour however; unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about
it.

You may respond via the Listserv or to my personal email

Thank you.
