Can't yet ID this, but am listening to what seems like a pro broadcast on AM, but only heard on LSB. I am unfamiliar with this sort of thing- what might be going on? News and talk now, some program called "Global Monitor" is on at the moment. Is it some Christian Science broadcast?
Normal and USB modes sound like RTTY.
BTW- I cannot grab it on my 160. I heard it on my Westinghouse WR-12X3 antique AM radio as an RTTY sound (I never heard this on AM radio bands before). I can get it on my Sony ICF-7600.
EDIT: 2100 UTC- station announced WRCW Leesburg/Washington DC
A quick search shows me 50kW day/ 1kW night, run by New World Radio, owned by Potomac Radio. Originally WAGE in 1958.
Question still remains- why only on LSB for a mainstream station?

You won't hear an LSB broadcast on the MW.
My guess it that you had to have heard an image from a shortwave utility station interfering with the regular AM station you heard on 1190.
It's possible you may have an RTTY-like FSK utility station somewhere in your vicinity.
