Hey All,
Log from earlier this week : Copied WSM under the regional digital dog WSRO 650 . Specks of voice and a rhythm beat for for a bit ( sounded like a good ole country bass).
SM/SRO are nearly on the same bearing to me , so some hash had to be let in or no joy. Radio placement / loop aiming geometries were among the tightest I have ever encountered, super touchy and extremely easy to lose.
I suppose the take away here is it can be done (in "theory" !) , but would take a LOT more horsepower from the analog station to "break through". Even then , not sure how listenable things would be.
Nice to hear a tiny peep from "The Legend " , but overall a colossal failure.
Also FWIW, a tiny BIT of SRO hash QRM to fair CMLA 640 and strong WFAN 660, but not enough to really affect things.
640 in particular is one of my favorite Dx frequencies.

The Legend with a nice signal tonight... wish they would play more of the old stuff though.
Otherwise, 640 usually just a jumble here but Mexican format WMFN Peotone IL (south of Chicago) occasionally
breaking through tonight with 1.6kw of power.

Hey Pinto,
It was great to hear SM during SRO's silent months around a year or so ago.
Hopefully the digital format will tank and and leave 650 clear to MA.
