Again, not sure how it all ties together, but I do hear the 680 KHz station identifying as WRKO.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">-Craig K1CWD</div><div><br></div>

Thanks for all the replies from everyone. I'm not sure if everyone sees the replies through the reflector, but wanted to add some additional info:

I have two rigs, an ANAN 7000 and an IC-7300. Both rigs see the AM signal at 14.280.

I can tell it's WRKO because I switch to the AM band and hear the same dialog on their station. Of course, their station is booming because I'm only a few miles away.

There is no overload condition on the front-ends of either receiver that I can tell. I can reduce the input attenuation and the signal is still there, although reduced somewhat with the attenuation, which is to be expected I think if it's actually interference being picked up by the antenna, as opposed to an RFI path after the front-end.

I have two wire antennas with two separate feedlines, and have the interference on both antenna's.

This just started recently, and can't correlate it to any change I made in my station.

Has anybody else noticed interference at 14.280 from the WRKO station broadcasting at 680 KHz?

This seems to have started a few days ago.

I'm pretty sure it's not receiver overload on my end, but actual out-of-band stuff generated by the station (granted that my QTH is very close to the transmitter in Burlington).

Anybody deal with this before, or have good contact info for the station engineer?
