[BC] Noisy Audio Chain

[Bailey, Scott]

I thought that it was illegal for a station to do that.  There was a
daytimer in the 90's around here that was fined for leaving on their 5
KW carrier on all night.

Quite often WWII 720 leaves their carrier on all night. There 
is so much high frequency noise on the signal that I can hear 
it eight to ten kHz on either side of center. It sounds like 
there is a blank tape playing. There is also some sixty and I 
think one hundred twenty Hz hum on the signal.
If this is an AM station as I recall they have to ID the carrier once
per 
hour.  FM's at one time were granted a wavier on the ID rules if they
ran 
subcarriers 24 hours and main programming signed off the air.
