Eric,
I live about 3/4 mile from the multiplexed stations KKMS/WWTC (980 & 1280) here
in MN and they are all over the ham bands in my receivers.

Luckily it isn't such a problem on 160m, just the 2nd harmonic of 980 at 1960
is the only real issue and I seldom operate high in the band. I do have a
Morgan systems AM bcb filter in place.
The real issue I have is at 3540 where the 2nd harmonic of 1280 mixed with 980
to give me a healthy S9+20 signal with intelligible modulation. Pity this is in
the heart of 80m allocation.
I have had contact with Mark Persons and the station engineer. They even
measured interference levels in my driveway and alas they are within specs.
Shame that I am just too close. I feel bad for one other ham that is about 150
feet from the ends of that stations radial field!!
Kind of hoping for the demise of AM broadcasting...
